1. Excessive price
The price of traditional servers is more expensive than other computing devices, and it requires additional costs to maintain and upgrade, which makes it difficult for small enterprises and individuals to bear this cost pressure.
2. Frequent hardware failure
Traditional servers are machinery and equipment, and there are many operating parts, such as fans, hard disks, etc. There is a risk of faults in these components. Once a failure, it will cause data loss or high stop time, which is very unfavorable for enterprises.
3. Maintenance difficulties
Maintaining traditional servers require professional skills and professional knowledge, and a certain time and money cost. For SMEs, it is very difficult to have an IT team with this skill, so maintaining the server has become a very difficult task.
4. Security risk
There are many network security risks in traditional servers, especially for servers that use public Internet access. These risks may cause enterprises to suffer data leaks, hackers attacks, data loss and other risks.
5. High energy consumption
Traditional server consumption is high, and the additional energy consumption and cost are also very high. For those companies that carry out green computing and sustainable development plans, this energy consumption is also unacceptable.
In short, although traditional servers are still one of the important equipment relying on enterprises and institutions, their disadvantages are gradually exposing. In order to reduce costs and improve efficiency and data security, companies need to consider turning to other technical solutions.
