What's the difference between a cloud server and a traditional server?

Cloud server is a simple, efficient, safe and reliable computing service with flexible processing capability. Its management mode is simpler and more efficient than physical server. Users can quickly create or publish any number of cloud servers without purchasing hardware in advance. Cloud server helps you build more stable and secure applications quickly, reduces the difficulty of development and operation and the overall IT cost, and enables you to focus more on the innovation of core business.

Traditional servers have independent CPU, memory stick and hard disk, so the security of stored data is not high, and the scrap rate of hard disk is high, so the application is limited. If there is a new application, you can only buy another one, which causes a serious waste of servers, which can not be underestimated for some small and medium-sized enterprises.

Who is superior and who is inferior can be analyzed through the following points:

1, technical aspects.

Cloud server adopts cloud computing technology, which integrates various software and hardware technologies such as computing, network and storage. Traditional servers are independent and will not integrate these resources.

2. In terms of security.

The cloud server has natural protection against ARP attacks and MAC spoofing, snapshot backup, and data is never lost. Traditional servers do not have this function.

3. Reliability.

Cloud server is based on server cluster, with high hardware redundancy and low failure rate. Traditional servers have relatively little hardware redundancy and high failure rate.

4. In terms of flexibility.

Users can add their own configuration online in real time, which has a large expansion space; Traditional servers have limitations in this respect. If there is a new application, you can only buy another one.

5. From the performance point of view

The computing power of a cloud server is four times that of an equally configured independent server, which can meet the requirements of high-performance computing.

6. In terms of stability.

If a cloud server fails, it can be automatically migrated, which means that if a cloud server fails, its applications will be automatically migrated to other cloud servers. Traditional servers do not have this function. If it's broken, it's broken

So the cloud server is relatively better.
