A couple months back, one of our hosted infrastructure as a service (\u201ccloud computing\u201d) providers came into our office and did an in-depth training for our staff on their dedicated server<\/a><\/span> offering. For the majority of the training, the provider\u2019s representative ran through a slide deck on the same \u2018ol stuff about Gartner<\/a><\/span> stats, magical quadrants, 25 nines, blah blah blah\u2026. but then I asked him my famous big question\u2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks _____, but most of this is pretty standard with all of the IaaS providers we represent. Out of all of your offerings, what feature or product is so unique that a Systems Admin will say \u201cwow\u201d when they see it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"server-150x121\"<\/a>50% of the time we ask that question, we get crickets\u2026 or at best, a lackluster answer. However, this time, I thought his answer was pretty good. So I\u2019m throwing it out to you to see if it makes you say \u201cwow.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that the cool thing they can do that not many other providers offer is that they can \u201cspin\u201d up a single (or multiple), DEDICATED server(s) real-time, through an AUTOMATED system.<\/strong> They have invested in enough hardware inventory that they have everything on-hand and have even completely automated the process.<\/p>\n

I thought this was great! Everyone can spin up a shared, hosted (cloud), server – but what if your IT department has several dedicated servers being hosted by a 3rd<\/sup> party and you just learned you need to add another? Typically, that\u2019s a 1-2 week process, minimum. Being able to do it through an automated system and have it available immediately, just like in a shared environment sounded pretty cool.<\/p>\n

What do you think about that feature?<\/p>\n

What specific things do you doubt they can do?<\/p>\n

I am not knowledgeable enough to answer that question as well as our audience, so tell me the next question I need to ask that provider!<\/p>\n
