Of course, that&#8217;s just the tip of the iceberg. With this, the server trends in the industry took an interesting turn.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Cheaper Prices for Server Hardware<\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest benefits to the consumer is the cheaper prices for server hardware. Of course, these price drops for hardware has resulted in an increase in server capabilities and a decrease in hosting costs. Right now, you&#8217;ve got more options for server performance than ever. You&#8217;ve also got an increase in server customization and scalability as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some key points:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 of the top 10 dedicated server hosts offer custom server setups. The level of customization varies from a simple choice of 2-3 hard drives to a complete choice in RAM, HDD, and more.<\/li>\n<li>Server prices are getting lower and lower. You can get an Intel quad-core server with 16GB RAM and a 500GB SATA Drive for just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serverpronto.com\/dedicated-server.php\">$99.95<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Increase in IT Spending<\/h2>\n<p>So, another interesting trend is that IT departments are spending more on servers and managed services. After a low spending period since 2011 it looks like it may be coming to an end as business and organizations begin to increase their spending on the following services:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Managed Security<\/li>\n<li>Managed Backup<\/li>\n<li>Managed Firewall<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the increase in spending comes an increase in the number of server hosts offered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serverpronto.com\/managed-hosting.php\">managed hosting services<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Increase in Technology<\/h2>\n<p>Because of the growth in server sales, we&#8217;ve seen new technologies emerge. So, these are technologies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serverpronto.com\/smart-server.php\">smart servers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serverpronto.com\/geo-redundant-cloud-hosting.php\">geo-redundant cloud hosting<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Smart servers introduce a\u00c2\u00a0combination of bare metal physically-hosted servers with today&#8217;s leading virtualization technology. Smart Servers are a new breed of a dedicated server that offers the best of two worlds: the power of dedicated servers and flexibility of cloud computing.<\/p>\n<p>Geo-redundant cloud hosting\u00c2\u00a0allows for automatic failover between data centers of mission-critical services including applications, databases, and websites to multiple remote data centers.\u00c2\u00a0Your mission-critical services fail over between cities at the server, and network level without changing IP addresses with no human intervention whatsoever.\u00c2\u00a0This allows for zero detectable downtime.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion,<\/h2>\n<p>Thanks to an increase in IT Spending, servers are now more powerful, more affordable, more scalable, more customizable, and more technologically advanced than ever. This allows server hosts to offer great deals on both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serverpronto.com\/dedicated-server.php\">dedicated servers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serverpronto.com\/cloud.php\">cloud hosting solutions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.serverpronto.com\">ServerPronto<\/a> offers the best affordable and secure hosting service in all dedicated server packages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reports have been coming in showing an increase as high as 7.3% in server sales.
