The advantages and disadvantages of buying and renting servers, how should the company's companies weigh the advantages and disadvantages and make the most suitable choice? The server is a device that provides users with basic computing power and data storage support, and is a key component of IT information base.
At present, with the accelerated application of new infrastructure such as 5G, artificial intelligence, big data, and Internet of Things, it will stimulate enterprises to purchase more servers. There are usually two ways for the purchase of the server: buying or renting the server directly. So which method is better and more cost -effective? In general, buying servers and rental servers have their own advantages. Which cost -effective choice depends on the actual business requirements of the enterprise.
The biggest advantage of renting the server is
Enterprises can flexibly rent it, choose monthly rents, quarterly rent, annual rent, etc. to reduce one -time cost investment. In addition, like renting public clouds, as long as companies pay in place, they can expand the performance of the server at any time according to their business needs. However, the biggest disadvantage of renting the server is the security issue, because all the information of the enterprise is stored through a third party, and it is likely to be contributed to the cloud manufacturer without compensation, causing major losses.
The disadvantage of rental server is the advantage of buying the server -high security. Independent servers are deployed by themselves and do not have to share with others to ensure more corporate data leakage.
In addition, buying a server by yourself can achieve customization, all functions are completely independent, stronger in performance, do not have to be affected by other users, have higher normal operation time, open the speed faster, do not have to share with others, the maximum extent, to the greatest extent, the maximum extent Reduce others' interference.
Compared to renting the server, the disadvantage of buying a server is: high cost. Of course, for the short -term business, if it is used for a long time, it should be another matter.
Based on the above, which is cost -effective to buy a server or rental server? You can see the following situations:
If the security requirements are relatively low and the user size is relatively small, it is just a general enterprise display website. It will be more cost -effective to choose a cloud service. In addition, users who have fluctuating server performance in the future will also be recommended to choose a rental server to avoid hardware upgrade waste.
And if the security requirements are high, the number of access and the size of the user, such as e -commerce, finance and other platforms, it is suitable for choosing to buy a server. Buy yourself by yourself and let all the data be in your own hands. Furthermore, the hard disk storage space of the server is particularly large, such as making video, pictures and other websites, you can choose to buy a storage -type server.
