Servers

Server options depend on workload, budget, and whether you want the machines on-premises or off-premises, aka virtual private servers or cloud-based servers.

On-Premises Servers

These servers are purchased. They require the owner to do the IT administration. Depending on your needs, they may require additional dedicated power and cooling. Don’t worry, we can do it all for you.

Tower Servers

  • What it is: A stand-alone server. They are not rackable. These look like PCs, and sit on the desk or floor.
  • Performance: Best for small offices with limited space and no dedicated IT infrastructure.
  • Use Cases: Small-scale file sharing, database hosting, web hosting, virtualization, development and testing environments.

Rack Servers

  • What it is: These are stand-alone, but built specifically to be mounted with others within a server rack.
  • Performance: Ideal for businesses with server rooms needing organized, scalable solutions and IT infrastructure for growing businesses.
  • Use Cases: Business-critical applications, moderate to high-traffic database hosting, web hosting, virtualization.

Blade Servers

  • What it is: High-density, modular servers for enterprises needing scalability.
  • Performance: Suited for enterprises requiring high processing power and efficiency to maximize the use of IT space.
  • Use Cases: High-performance computing (HPC), data center environments, enterprise-level database hosting, virtualization, cloud computing.

Virtual Private Servers (VPS)

These servers are rented. Cloud servers come in different types based on performance, control, and resource allocation. We can help with VPSs too.

Shared Resource Virtual Machine(VM) Server (Hypervisor or Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM))

  • What it is: A single-tenant VM running on a physical server, sharing resources with other VMs.
  • Performance: Good but limited by shared resources.
  • Use Cases: Web hosting, small applications, development and testing.

Dedicated Cloud Servers

  • What it is: A single-tenant VM running on a physical server with dedicated resources
  • Performance: More reliable than shared resource VM since resources (CPU, RAM, storage) are reserved for you.
  • Use Cases: Enterprise applications, databases, and high-performance workloads.

Bare Metal Cloud Servers

  • What it is: A fully dedicated physical machine with no virtualization layer.
  • Performance: Maximum performance with direct hardware access.
  • Use Cases: High-performance computing (HPC), gaming servers, big data processing.
