There
is a new genres of dedicated server plans available to businesses. The new
service is provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and it is done through a new
service that is known as EC2 Dedicated Hosts. One of the specialties of this
hosting plan is the facility for the customers to rent physical servers. Per
the new EC2 Dedicated Hosts, licensed software can be used on many multiple AWS
virtual machines that are created in one server. However, this facility should
not be confused with the usual wayvirtual machines are offered by AWS. In case
of VMs, access is available for users but they will not be able to know the
exact place where they are hosted. Jeff Barr, chief evangelist of Amazon Web
Services, has said that more power can be accessed by the admin in dedicated
server plans through the new EC2 Dedicated Hosts plan as it provides admin
specific control over EC2 placements.
Let’s
make it more simple to understand. Amazon EC2 Dedicated Host is essentially a
machine server that provides businesses with EC2 instance, which in turn is
completely dedicated for use of the business choosing the option. One of the main advantages of dedicated hosts
is that compliance requirements become easy to be addressed. In fact, the cost
also gets reduced and this is because of the facility of using existing
server-bound software licenses.
Now,
let’s have a quick look at the benefits associated with the new E2C dedicated
server plans:
Benefit #1 -The
first advantage is the ability to save cost of licensing. There are many software
licenses that come with physical cores, sockets, and VMs. Many software such as
Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Microsoft SQL Server,
Microsoft Windows Server, and many others are available with dedicated hosts.
Therefore, additional licensing costs are saved.
Benefit # 2 –Whether
it is regulatory requirements or compliance, all these aspects can be met
easily with this new facility. Instances can be launched on a Dedicated Host. On
a physical server, instances are run, especially on the dedicated servers. Further
control as well as visibility is achieved on dedicated server plans. The
corporate compliance issues as well as regulatory requirement scan be met through
deployment of configuration based instances.
#1Instances
can be launched onto specific dedicated host. If you have no issue with
placement, automatic instance placement facility is also available with Amazon
EC2.Whether it is regarding corporate compliance, address licensing, or
regulatory control, the issues can be addressed properly with applications
deployment, which is in turn possible through controlled instance placement.
