What is Virtual Cloud Server?
Virtual Cloud Server (VCS) is a virtual server environment hosted in a cloud computing system that provides hosting infrastructure services to multiple tenants. The VCS is an isolated server instance at a virtual level. Its computing resources - processing power (CPU), memory (RAM) and data storage disks - can be scaled up and down. However, the user of the virtual cloud server does not have access to the physical infrastructure that powers its virtual environments and does not use physically isolated computing resources.
What is Dedicated Cloud Server?
A Dedicated Cloud Server (DCS) is a single physical server or cluster of dedicated physical servers (also known as bare metal servers) used by a single tenant. The dedicated cloud servers are virtualized using any computer virtualization technology (e.g. ProxMox VE, VMware ESXI, XenServer, Kubernets, etc.) and can be used separately or as redundant infrastructure to that hosted by AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud.
The computing resources of the dedicated cloud servers - processing power (CPU), memory (RAM) and data storage disks - can be scaled up and down when a cluster of servers is in place. Users of dedicated cloud servers have access to the physical infrastructure that powers their application environments and use physically isolated computing resources.
