Dedicated Servers Are the New Clouds

Dedicated Servers Are the New Clouds

Are dedicated servers making a comeback in the age of cloud dominance? In this video, we dive into the surprising findings of a recent Liquid Web study, which reveals a growing shift in IT infrastructure choices. Despite the widespread adoption of cloud platforms, 86% of IT professionals report continued reliance on dedicated servers for critical workloads. Why? It comes down to control, cost predictability, and compliance.

We investigate why 42% of organizations have moved workloads from the cloud back to dedicated servers in the past year, fueled by frustrations over rising, unexpected cloud costs—sometimes as high as $25,000—and underutilized features. From government agencies seeking robust compliance to finance and IT industries needing data security and uptime, we'll explore the industries leading this trend and discuss why dedicated hardware remains essential for performance-intensive workloads.
