AIT Launches Dedicated Server Suite to Pummel Cloud Computing
Fayetteville, NC (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- The Dedicated Server versus Cloud Computing debate is ongoing in the Information Technology industry. For advanced administrators and engineers, the core issue is “Do I completely own and control resources strictly committed to me and my applications?” Using someone else’s infrastructure for your applications other than “ping, power and pipe” is a business risk that depends on what level one is willing to assume risk. Hardware costs, scaling, failover, redundancy, processing power, disk space, bandwidth, amperage, usage based metering and scaling are the same in either environment. The key difference is how it is managed respectively in each environment and what the impacts are on customers.
AIT has studied this issue and noted several short comings within the Cloud Computing environment that could put customers at risk and that is why we have launched a Dedicated Server suite. “If you want high performance, customization and guaranteed resources you go with dedicated servers. When competing in the “Cloud” environment, you may not have the resources necessary such as the case with AWS, Google or Microsoft’s Office 365. The truth is that Clouds have been very unreliable in the recent past,” said Mike Roberts, COO of AIT.” “If you are a start up with an uncertain future, Cloud may be the solution as the initial cost barrier may be of concern to you. There is nothing dedicated, not even an instance, in a Cloud environment and it is almost always oversold. But the marketing pitch is that it is relatively inexpensive and you only pay for what you use. Well, that’s not entirely true – the initial costs may be low but you will pay more as you use more,” added Roberts.
“AIT has focused on developing their Dedicated Server suite to deliver reliable resources and provide scalability for our customers to grow. The claim that Dedicated Servers entail high up-front purchase costs is a myth. In fact, with AIT’s customer loyalty program, the cost of our dedicated servers drops 50% after six months over the lifetime of the server,” said Mike Noble, Business Development Manager. “We deploy dedicated hardware for each customer at no up-front cost to the customer. And as long as the IT architecture is properly designed up front, it will scale as well or better than any Cloud environment, the primary difference is that Dedicated Server Hosting is just that – Dedicated. We have seen the difference in response by our customers on the cost savings and the knowledge that the resources are there with a Dedicated Server,” added Noble.
