How Performance is Improved with Dedicated Servers
Thursday April 14, 2011
The function of dedicated servers is to maintain a single server that will be dedicated to a single user. It is the process of limiting applications to improve the efficiency of client-server systems.
There are a variety of reasons why the architecture of a dedicated server offers improved efficiency. For instance, with a dedicated server, you are the only one using the server so there are fewer resources being used as opposed to using a shared server where multiple clients share the server and its resources.
A single server is used for each application that exists within a given company. For this reason, it is much easier to troubleshoot for problems and quickly identify a problem and resolve it before there is a disruption in server operations.
How Performance is Improved with Dedicated Servers
With dedicated hosting, web hosts give clients the ability to buy dedicated server plans where their website and data are the only one stored on the machine. This enables businesses to improve performance because the website traffic is restricted to a single group and server resources are not being occupied by another application.
If a problem occurs with one of the applications, it will not have a negative impact on the other applications. This means the hardware is dedicated to only processing those server requests and can then process even more requests allowing more traffic to come to the site.
When to Move to a Dedicated Server
When moving to a dedicated server, it is a good idea to start moving slowly to find out what resources you will need and to make sure what you are moving is improving efficiency. As you see improvements, you can then continue to slowly migrate to the other dedicated servers as your budget allows.
By running your applications on their own servers which enables each application to be processed completely independent of one another, you are creating a dedicated architecture that will improve the performance of your website.
Dedicated hosting provides much better client control over their server and the architecture also has beneficial redundant features. Dedicated servers allow a business to benefit from enhanced efficiency.
