Is Cloud Hosting and Utility Hosting Really More Reliable?

By Malvi Patel


Cloud hosting is understood as an extreme virtualization. These are the two words buzzed in the minds when looking for least downtime solutions, scalability, cost effective hosting. Apart from all these factors, there is another important factor on which the customers are dependable is the reliability. Cloud hosting is the most reliable hosting with mere unlimited scalability, which is a boon for unpredictable contemporary business demands.

Self healing networks and the fail over environments are considerable strengths to cloud hosting. Database server, web server protected with firewall and other applications are implemented and materialized with-in just minutes excluding even hardware. The implementation is fast in cloud hosting, where as coming to the downtime, it is quite possible for unexpected outages and so the alternatives are quite possible and to be prepared. Downtime is however is possible only with expensive dedicated hardware supported professionals.

Though cloud hosting gives better reliability and redundancy comparatively better than the other ones, businesses which can't afford even 1% of downtime has to find other alternatives rather than cloud hosting. Of course expecting zero downtime is over expectation in the hosting world run by the machines.

Enterprises with varied scaling needs have the best need for the cloud hosting because of its scalability. Cloud hosting assures scaling up and scaling down with the minimum maintenance and flexible manageability to the businesses demanding unpredictable changes. And these changes are done with-in just minutes. Clouds give better hosting for the business requirements like redundant sites, business sustainability and disaster recovery clouds. Clouds give reliable hosting as well as the challenges because of decentralization.

Utility computing is the packaging of computing resources like data storage and computing resources. These services are available to the customers just like metered service like electricity server for public utility.

What are rented in utility computing are the computational resources and eventually the resultant factor would be the reliability. As it is compatible with grid computing, the reliability would be enhanced. The similar feature with cloud hosting is the virtualization of sharing resources and so eventually reliability would be the outcome.

Utility hosting is productive for industries in the way of managing the work, server and security layers of storage and controls the modifications which are needed to be done timely. Utility computing is the right choice for the business which demands the optimum utilization of the services of the system as well as the resources. So both cloud hosting as well as utility hosting uses the common methodology of virtualization in sharing of the resources, the reliability is more or less predicted similar to each other.
