Choosing a database server is a decision that affects the stability and performance of your entire IT infrastructure. With SIM-Networks, you can choose more than just a CPU for your database server or a hard drive. We offer our clients a choice between technological platforms that meet different business needs. Let's look into the differences between them and figure out which one is best for you.
If you are deploying a web application, a corporate website or a small CRM system, a virtual server is a good start for your business. For example, a company that runs an online store on an ERP system with a MySQL database can effectively work on a VPS with the appropriate configuration. This kind of platform offers a good balance between cost, performance and control; however, in the long term, your business may need more flexibility than VPS can offer.
When it comes to systems with high demands, such as banking platforms, logistics and accounting tools or popular apps, dedicated servers are the best option. For example, a large distributor company with a demanding ERP can order hardware with 32 cores, 128 GB of RAM and RAID. With SIM-Networks, this kind of company can choose specific models of every component and the architecture of the entire solution. Dedicated servers offer stable operation even under heavy workloads, a high level of security and the ability to fine-tune your DBMS.
The cloud is the best choice for dynamic projects such as SaaS startups or online marketplaces. For example, an e-commerce project may need to quickly expand a database with the company’s product catalogue; in the cloud, you can scale computing resources in a matter of minutes, set up replication, backups and distribution across availability zones. This way, businesses have the flexibility to react to any challenges and scale database resources without having to interact with hardware at all.
