Cloud Server
What is a cloud Server?
A cloud server, also known as a virtual server or cloud-hosted server, exists within a virtualized cloud computing environment. Unlike traditional physical servers that rely on dedicated hardware, cloud servers are virtual entities generated by the allocation and partitioning of resources from a vast pool of physical servers and storage infrastructure within a data centre maintained by a cloud service provider.
Advantages of cloud server
Security Measures
Cloud providers implement robust security measures, including firewalls, encryption, and identity and access management, to protect cloud server instances and data.
Global Reach
Cloud providers operate data centres in multiple regions worldwide, allowing users to deploy cloud servers close to their target audience for reduced latency and improved performance.
On-Demand Scalability
Cloud servers can be easily scaled up or down to accommodate changing workloads. This scalability is typically achieved by adjusting the allocated CPU, RAM, and storage resources without the need for physical hardware upgrades.
Pay-as-you-go pricing
Cloud server users typically pay for the resources they consume on a pay-as-you-go basis. This means that you only pay for the CPU, memory, and storage you use, making it a cost-effective solution.
Managed Services
Some cloud providers offer managed services where they handle and maintain task and security updates and backups allowing users to focus on their applications.
