There isn't any. It will cost you more.
- kabdib 5y agoThis entirely depends. I know several businesses that save about 10X over cloud providers by using their own equipment. You have to do your own analysis.
- Shish2k 5y agoDedicated over cloud? Yeah, I am personally saving 40x on bandwidth alone. Colo over renting? Savings seemed pretty small, and hassle was large...
- zepolen 5y agoCompared to cloud yes, but dedicated servers are cheaper than running colo, it takes a couple hardware failures to completely screw your budget up, in addition to the maintenance. Unless you have specific impossible to rent hardware needs, it's never worth it.
