A COMPARISON OF DX3WEBS DEDICATED SERVERS VS AWS CLOUD SOLUTION
| DX3Webs | Amazon Web Services |
| Dedicated server belongs to you for the contract period. No third party can add or make changes to the server guaranteeing its performance. | The AWS instance is hosted on a server shared by a whole range of customers where both server and network is split between them. |
| Single fixed monthly price, no hidden extras agreed to for the duration of the contract. | Price can fluctuate depending on amount of traffic and a number of hidden charges |
| A managed server included in the monthly cost maintained for you. | The basic ingredients are provided but you must pay a (expensive) team of IT bods to configure, manage and monitor the infrastructure. |
| A finished product ready for your business needs cutting down on initial setup costs. | A dedicated team is needed to manage all the parts using the various tools Amazon provides. |
| Server is hand built to run your Magento site. | Provide generic virtualised servers built for price/power. |
| Due to the above the speed provided for customers and end-users will always be faster than the AWS equivalent. This is tested frequently. | No matter the number of virtual servers or large instances AWS cannot compete on speed against a dedicated Dx3Webs server. |
| 24/7 support and monitoring provided. | AWS does not provide support; you would need your own IT team to monitor server health. |
| Reliability is greatly increased due to the 24/7 monitoring of the server. All servers hosted within class leading IOMart data centres providing huge redundancy and capacity. | Network is notoriously variable in its reliability and frequently suffers complete outages across its various data centres. |
| As the above table clearly illustrates Dx3Webs dedicated Magento servers offer a clear advantage over the equivalent
solution provided by AWS. If speed, cost, reliability and support are important to your business Dx3webs provides the solution to your needs. |
