Many companies moved from hosted services to have their own in-house server during the 1990s and into the early part of 2000. Today, the cost of maintaining those servers, creating the ideal physical environment for their operation, and the challenges of ensuring data backup and disaster recovery programs are in place make this cost ineffective.
An option for a business of any size to consider is to move to a bare metal server. This is an actual physical server that is hosted in a data center, where there is one tenant (the business) with control of all the resources and system functions of the server.
This is not the same as a hypervisor server, which is a shared server with multiple tenants. In choosing the bare metal server, the business can maintain security and full operation of the server without any of the security risks and potential challenges of shared server resources.
Performance
An overlooked benefit of upgrading to a bare metal server is the ability to better manage the performance of the server. The business can schedule jobs and reoccurring operations to provide peak performance and load balancing.
Without other tenants using the resources, the business never has to worry about slow access to data, poorly loading pages on websites, or problems with delivering content or data to end-users.
The Cost Advantage
In addition to eliminating the overhead costs of running and maintain an in-house physical server, the use of bare metal servers also allows for pay as you use billing. This can save a business a significant amount in the short and long term, while still allowing for flexibility as the computing needs expand.
