There is a range of different options for a business to consider when selecting the right type of server for the organization. Various factors come into play, including the requirements of the company, the level of IT knowledge, and the comfort in setting up and maintaining the server.
One option for companies to consider is the choice of a bare metal server. This type of server is also called a dedicated server or a single-tenant hosting server. As the name implies, this is a physical server dedicated or reserved for one client. However, by opting to use a managed server, the provider offers support for security, monitoring, and other services.
Dedicated Capacity
Most hosting solutions use shared server capacity to reduce the cost for the client or tenants on the server. However, sharing also means limiting resources across the various tenants. Choosing a bare metal server allows the single tenant to access and use of 100% of the server capacity and resources.
This not only refers to the actual server space, but it eliminates any need to share bandwidth or IPs. For companies with high resource requirements, it makes an ideal solution.
Increased Security
In addition to bandwidth and server resources, the choice of a bare metal server provides options for enhanced security. This includes managed services such as OS hardening and assessments for vulnerability and penetration testing by the hosting company.
The business, as the sole tenant of the server, can install any required security software to suit their specific protocols or requirements. The extra level of security is a critical factor for most businesses as it protects both customers and the company from the risk of security breaches and hacks.
