Is Cloud Solutions a Better Alternative to Hired or Inhouse Servers?

Hosting Servers

Before we move on to cloud solutions or servers we must get to know what is a hosting server. Well-hosting servers are advanced computers that host or store your website.  You have to pay a yearly charge for the service. The charge could depend upon the type of server whether it is dedicated hosting, VPS hosting or your storage is shared with other sites known as shared hosting.  The cost also depends upon the quality of servers, bandwidth provided, and other features related to the server hardware. 

Some companies boast of advanced hardware configurations.

Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) 

Solid State Drives (SSDs)

PHP OPCache

Substantial I/O Resources 

NVMe boasts of better performance for resource-intensive websites that use high bandwidth on daily basis. PHP scripts are executed and stored in the memory for faster response. The 10 MB IO guarantees faster query response for websites with a large database. Despite all these advanced features the service pales when compared to cloud solutions and the latest technology services.  

When companies install their own servers in-house, they have work to do, and constantly. The hardware has to be purchased, and trained personnel have to be employed to maintain and upgrade the systems. All this costs money and time. 

Cloud Server Solutions   

The global cloud is expected to be1,240.9 billion US dollars by the year 2027. It was stated to be ed USD 545.8 billion in the year 2022.

In simple terms, in a cloud solution, a number of computers are networked with each other to host your website. These are advanced systems and facilitate integration with software applications like Tally and MIS. 

In this case, the electronic data is stored in pools that are patterned like clouds in the sky. Thus the name " cloud". The hosting is done on multiple servers often at different locations, and the real-time hardware is managed by the cloud hosting company. The data is available and accessible 24/7 and there is little chance of server outage there is greater security and stability which is important for online success. The companies can buy or lease storage space from the providers to store application data.

Cloud Hosting is done on distributed resources but still acts as one.

The distributed data makes it highly fault tolerant.

Versioned copies make the storage highly durable.

But apart from all advantages, the cloud services are not cheap as in this case the establishment cost is converted to operational costs. But companies pay for the storage used. You become green and eco-friendly as energy consumption in-house is saved. 

Using the latest technology Metavision Technology based in Mumbai runs Tally applications on the cloud. It also runs other applications integrated with MIS. Thus, you can avail of Tally data on the cloud 24/7 from anywhere. All you have to do is type in the username and PWD and start availing your data of Tally.
