You could have the most competent engineer fully backed by the company, it's still going to take weeks to procure a goddamn server because it takes time to fight DELL and ship to the colo and have remote hands put it in place and set it up and a thousand more things.
- someguydave 6y agofor sure, the friction of managing physical servers is much higher. it would be worthwhile if a company commits to managing those physical assets well, which very few would commit to doing
- krab 6y agoThat's why I prefer renting servers. The company manages networking gear, guarantees having spare parts and someone on call to replace things. If your requirements aren't too exotic, you can get the server in place in a day. Compared to big cloud, you get much better CPU and RAM for your money and usually unmetered gigabit connection.
