Now, with the rapid development of the Internet, more and more enterprises have abandoned IDC and used their own data centers instead, so that servers can be used to share high-quality network resources and reduce IT costs on the basis of improving IT efficiency and controlling IT risks. Therefore, how should users choose between server leasing and hosting? Why does someone say that server renting is more cost-effective than hosting? Micronet will analyze it for you today, and you will understand after reading it.
1、 Cost comparison
The basic problem that every enterprise is most concerned about is the cost of IT. As we all know, IT is the cost center of an enterprise, not the revenue center. Therefore, many project leaders must have considered how to reduce IT costs and invest more money in projects that can bring economic benefits while meeting the needs of users.
Which one is more suitable for server hosting and leasing?
The first thing to face with server hosting is a huge cost, because before hosting, you need to buy your own servers. When you only need one or two servers to host, this huge cost may not be obvious, but it is not easy to buy 10 or even dozens of servers. On the contrary, if the server leasing method is adopted, the cost of the server will be much lower than that of the server purchased directly; At the same time, the rent is paid quarterly in general leasing, which greatly reduces the one-time cost input of users and enables them to invest the reduced money.
It plays a role in optimizing the enterprise's capital flow and improving the return on investment for the core business of the enterprise. Therefore, server leasing can reduce a lot of pressure for enterprise CIOs, and it is also a good choice to replace one-time large investment with continuous small investment, thus improving the ROI of IT investment. On the other hand, if an enterprise chooses server hosting, it will not only face a huge amount of expense, but also face asset depreciation. Because the development and updating speed of the server is very fast, the service life of the server equipment is generally about two years, that is to say, after two years, the enterprise will almost bundle its data with a pile of outdated old equipment. Leasing servers can directly avoid this risk.
2、 Product quality comparison
A good server can give users a more stable, secure and reliable IT system. The server hosting mode is to purchase the server by themselves. Users are very clear about what their server looks like. Even users who do not know much about the server can choose some well-known manufacturers (IBM, DELL. HP. Lenovo) to ensure the quality. In addition, users do not know the real quality level of the server in the leasing mode. Not so. Each company has its own purchase standard on the server room. In addition to a series of hard indicators in enterprise certification, there is also a mandatory guarantee that its accessories are produced in cooperation with well-known manufacturers at home and abroad. In this way, enterprises can not only provide users with products from domestic manufacturers, but also provide users with products from internationally renowned manufacturers such as Dell, HP, IBM, etc. for rent. Therefore, on the basis that the cost is higher than that of the managed server, we should strictly control the quality to ensure the security and stability of the server. Let customers have no worries.
3、 After sales service comparison
Nothing is perfect, nor is there any IT software and hardware that will not have problems! The same situation is also true for servers. Both good quality servers and poor quality servers will have problems. It is only a matter of time. Therefore, after-sales service in this regard is particularly important.
IDC operators in the data center provide after-sales support for server hosting, which can effectively ensure users' network, power supply and cooling needs, reduce users' use risks in infrastructure, and control IT costs. But as far as the server hardware is concerned, there is no doubt that the server manufacturer is responsible for after-sales service. On the one hand, it increases the connection of after-sales service, on the other hand, it also increases the workload of later maintenance. In addition, IDC operators are uniformly responsible for server leasing, which helps optimize enterprise IT management by integrating after-sales services.
