With cloud servers, you can have resources online within minutes. But with dedicated servers this can take considerably longer, even weeks in some circumstances.

For both cloud and dedicated servers, this can be achieved in only a few clicks or even automated using an API. However, with dedicated servers, this is a manual process that would require a scheduled maintenance window.

You can configure an HA environment quickly with multiple cloud servers and a load balancer within minutes. While you can request an HA environment within a dedicated infrastructure using multiple dedicated servers and a dedicated load balancer, this can take hours or even days to build. Another key difference here is that building a HA environment in the cloud can cost up to 60% less.

Compartmentalizing your resources by function allows for easy scalability, management and resource segmentation. This can be achieved cost effectively in the cloud. However, this type of compartmentalization is very expensive to achieve with dedicated hardware.

both iOS and Android operating systems are compatible with cloud servers. This is not the case with dedicated hardware and management is a manual process.

Hi, I like your recommendations here but it will be great if your servers comes with the aws rds sql server restore database facility. If you provide this facility with your servers than I am so interested to know more about your plans.

Thanks!
