Hosted VMware vs. Dedicated servers

So, how do you know when a Dedicated Virtual Server is better than using a Dedicated Server? Reviewing the types of applications you are running and determining the level of flexibility you need is a good way to decide.  There are some key differences in the two options which are outlined below:

Dedicated Servers:

• Inflexible making it difficult to add capacity on demand. Every new workload requires a new physical server.
• Long deployment times limiting your ability to rapidly respond.
• Inefficient and often underutilized, which ties up resources in unneeded software licenses, half-empty drives and idle processing capacity. (Typical Servers run at 10% to 15% utilization.)
• Expensive to replace, leaving you tied to older models.
• Take up precious power and colocation space.
• Good for media streaming, large database servers, as well as highly customized software and applications.
