FAQ
What is a bare metal server?
A bare metal server is simply a server without any software layer controlling your apps or usage. This layer of software is called a hypervisor. Hypervisors allow one server to provide multiple operating systems to different clients. Without a hypervisor, bare metal servers are faster and more secure because they are dedicated to a single tenant.
Your Servers Could Be Costing Your Business
Operating your own servers could be costing your business. Your costs do not decrease when your business is not open. Downtime and maintenance bills eat into your profitability. Scaling up to match your business growth involves heavy capital expenditure. All these costs, and more, could be eating into your profits.
Calculating the costs of your IT infrastructure is not straightforward either. A study published by Gartner on the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of switching to cloud services such as bare metal servers, clearly indicate that long-term hosted server services are much lower than in-house IT infrastructure.
Server Management Can Slow Down Business Progression
Every decision you make affects your business. Running your own servers can create a whole set of activities that may not be related to your core business:
- Funds must be directed into purchases, maintenance, utilities and upgrades
- Personnel must be employed to manage and maintain the servers
- Time must be allocated for planning routine activities to keep them at optimal performance
All these are ways servers can cost your business through decreased focus on your core business activities.
