The cloud provides on-demand servers that can be created in seconds with the click of a button or a call to Steadfast’s engineering team. Cloud users can create one server for a particular project or dozens or more servers to support heavy traffic on a popular site or application.
But the cloud is not the only type of server hosting available to you. Why choose the cloud for your business instead of shared hosting, dedicated servers, or traditional virtual private servers?
The cloud levels the infrastructure playing field. The ability to quickly deploy servers used to be something that only big companies with expensive IT departments could manage. Today, every business has access to reliable enterprise-grade servers in seconds.
Cloud users can create as many servers as they need, and they only pay for the resources they use. When a business no longer needs a cloud server, it can be removed as quickly as it was created. There are no long-term contracts or penalties: the cost of a business’s servers accurately tracks its infrastructure needs.
Cloud servers are available in a wide range of configurations, from low-powered servers that make great testing and development to high-performance machines that are excellent for hosting busy websites, application backends, or databases.
Because additional servers can be created on-demand, there is no need to over-provision servers to account for peak loads and traffic spikes. Underutilized servers have to be paid for even when they’re idle. On the cloud, businesses simply deploy the servers they need at any particular time and pay only for what they use.
On the cloud, there is no wait-time between need for a server and server availability. When a developer wants to launch a server to test out an idea, they don’t have to fill out a form and wait until the IT department signs off on it. They simply spin up a server and run their code. Cloud servers help your business create products more quickly, test them more efficiently, and get them to market sooner.
SMBs who use the cloud don’t have to worry about managing, securing, and maintaining physical servers. They don’t have to invest time and money to make sure their servers are reliable and always available. We take care of that so that cloud users can focus on what really matters.
Deploying an infrastructure platform with a single point of failure is a critical mistake, one made by many new cloud users. Redundancy helps ensure greater uptime and availability while reducing the risk of data loss. By default, all of Steadfast’s cloud platforms are redundant and fault tolerant, including redundant network connections, power, and physical servers.
As a Steadfast client, you don’t have to engineer a highly available server platform, because Steadfast’s engineering team will build you a custom platform with full redundancy and fault tolerance.
As your business grows, so does your cloud. We host businesses that started with a couple of cloud servers and scaled to using dozens of servers as their business grew — all without ever having to worry that they’d run out of room to grow or suffer from poor performance.
The cloud is all about on-demand server hosting, but that doesn’t mean every cloud platform is the same. Steadfast Simplicity Cloud Services offer an array of options including public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud. Unlike most cloud providers, we will work with you to build a cloud solution tailored to the specific needs of your business.
