How do SMEs choose cloud servers?

The advantages of cloud server selection are mainly manifested in four aspects:

Scalable performance. The service environment of traditional server business lacks flexible business flexibility, while cloud server leasing service can quickly realize business deployment, scale and configuration with strong flexibility.

Cost advantage. Cloud server users can enjoy the service without paying any deposit, which lacks few intermediate steps and provides many more convenient factors for customers. Pay on demand, effectively reducing the comprehensive cost.

Management ability. The traditional server management program is complicated, and it is also an invisible burden to the business. Compared with its centralized remote management platform, cloud server leasing has multi-level business backup, which reduces a lot of business for enterprise management and makes management easier.

Product performance advantages. Traditional servers are difficult to guarantee the continuous controllability of product performance, while cloud servers provide the isolation of hardware resources and exclusive broadband advantages. These performances reflect the unique advantages of cloud servers.

How to choose a high-quality cloud server?

Since cloud servers have many advantages, how should enterprises choose cloud servers? Do you choose the cheapest one? This answer is definitely wrong. People say to choose the right one, what suits them, what is right and what suits them? Learning a few small methods will help to find a cloud server with satisfactory performance and price.

1, demand is always the core.

First of all, you should recognize your own needs and evaluate what kind of cloud server is suitable for you according to your own needs and business. When the demand is determined, there will be standards. According to these standards, the cloud server's processor, memory, disk I/O, storage restrictions, network isolation, root privilege isolation and so on. With the requirements and standards, we can measure the budget, whether it is enough, whether it needs to be added, and we will have a bottom in our hearts.

2. Network line selection

The network line of the data center is very important, which affects the use effect of this cloud server. There are single/double-line bandwidths such as telecommunications and China Unicom in China. Because the broadband usage of local customers is not uniform, there are also a large number of telecom users in northern China. In order to meet the access needs of customers of different network operators, it is suggested to choose BGP lines. BGP is mainly used for interconnection between Internet AS, and its main function is to control the propagation of routes and select the best route. China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile and some large third-party IDC service providers such AS Bird Cloud Computing all have AS numbers published by CNNIC or APNIC. By using BGP protocol and broadcasting IP to each other, multi-line interconnection between autonomous domains is realized. This enables enterprise-oriented users to experience smooth network speed even if they are all over the country.

3. Select the appropriate configuration

The high availability of cloud server is inseparable from the support of excellent underlying hardware. At present, everyone is talking about big data and making our life better with high-performance cloud servers. With the continuous development of technology, the requirements of cloud service providers for disk reading and writing speed and throughput are gradually improving. A single SSD cloud disk like Tencent Cloud can provide a throughput of up to 24000 IOPS and 260MB/s; If we compare it from this aspect alone, the random read and write of waveguide cloud computing with 50000IOPS and the throughput of 800MB/s are obviously better.

4. Safety

Whether the cloud service provider is neutral, not involved in enterprise business, whether it has sufficient hardware defense against malicious attacks such as DDoS and CC, and at the same time, it processes, caches and prepares the data to ensure that the data is not lost. Taking waveguide cloud computing as an example to provide reference, waveguide cloud computing is characterized by focusing only on infrastructure services and fully ensuring its neutrality. In terms of hard defense, the hard defense of bird cloud will be 300G, which is a favorable guarantee for a server. The higher the hard defense, the safer the website. In terms of disaster tolerance, waveguide cloud computing adopts three-layer storage technology, namely, cache, precipitation and backup layer, which are synchronized in real time, and the data security reaches 99.999%.

5. Is there a free website filing service?

The website has been built, the website server has been purchased, and the domain name has been resolved. Please don't forget to put the website on record. This is a very complicated procedure. However, if you choose a formal service provider, such as Bird Cloud Computing, it will become very simple, because there are professional filing service personnel to provide you with filing guidance services, help you fill in and submit filing documents, and ensure the success of website filing.

6. After-sales service

Speaking of service guarantee, 7*24 hours operation and maintenance, data security guarantee and 100 times compensation of cloud service providers are all essential. Whether the service can be timely and professional determines the user experience. After all, the ability to respond quickly and solve problems is the key, and the service model and attitude of "shopkeepers bullying customers" will eventually be abandoned by the times. For example, at present, only the work order processing mode is open in Alibaba Cloud, and there is no online customer service. Tencent Cloud service has a threshold, with a monthly consumption of 654.38+10,000 yuan to provide supreme service and a technical support service team of gold medal experts.

In short, you must think about your own needs before buying a cloud server, so that you can know what kind of cloud service is best for you. The best cloud server is not the cheapest, the most dazzling and the most gimmicky, but the most beneficial to your business development and your performance improvement.
