Not that many years ago clients would host their own servers in their office or co-locate them in a datacenter. They would spend a lot of money on infrastructure, expensive servers and licensing, backup internet, backup batteries, on-site support calls for issues and the list goes on and on. Some still do but there is a better option– Leasing your server and software technology.
Simply put, you rent on a monthly/contractual basis as opposed to buying outright.
Benefits of leasing server hardware:
- lowered up-front capital expenditures, no hardware to buy
- hardware support included on leased servers
- current generation server hardware
- dedicated bandwidth available without an longterm contracts with speeds that range from 10mbps to several gigabit
- hardware resources stocked on site and available to scale your leased server at any time, no waiting for shipping
