There are many different options for utilizing the computing and storage power of a server. One is to have an in-house server, where the company owns and maintains the server while also having it on the premises.
The drawback to this is the cost involved in purchasing the server, installing and configuring the software, and then in the ongoing maintenance of the server. There is also power consumption, temperature control, and eventual capacity for data storage and resources that need to be considered.
Data Center Servers
Moving the server from the premise to a data center also offers options. There is colocation, where the business leases server space in the data center but still owns the server.
There are also dedicated servers, which are servers that are leased or rented to a business. These are true turnkey servers, as they are fully customized to meet the needs of the tenant. Since these servers are dedicated, there is only one tenant or one user on each server. The data center manages the server, maintains the server, and even installs and configures software and applications to meet the needs of the business. In addition, a dedicated server provides 100% of the storage, computing, and bandwidth to the single tenant.
Finally, there are shared servers. These servers have multiple tenants or users on each server through virtualization, all sharing the resources. While there is some level of customization available, this is limited as all tenants on the server must have access to the server resources and computing ability.
