With so many components at play, it is hard to get an exact picture of application costs at your business. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) goes beyond comparing standalone infrastructure costs and looks at the cost of service and support over a solution's useful life. A comprehensive TCO analysis must include 3 major types of costs: Capital expenses, On-premises hardware & software-Operating expenses, Services, support & maintenance fees to keep the equipment running and Indirect costs: Potential downtime and time-to-market delays. Application Hosting at Visualnet can help your business succeed with a fixed cost and support for your users that you can depend on.

Traditionally, businesses have had to build and maintain infrastructure to run on-premises applications. With the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, businesses can consume applications that are hosted online on Visualnet Servers, enabling them to lower their costs by paying only for what they use, enjoy seamless and painless upgrades in functionality, and integrate easily with their existing data and systems.

Some Applications Run Better on Dedicated Servers. At a high level, applications that are I/O intensive, coded with legacy frameworks, or that simply need more direct access and flexibility relative to the server resources such as CPU, RAM, and Storage are better hosted on a dedicated Server. More specifically, some examples would be: Highly accessed, I/O intensive databases such as Oracle, SQL, NoSQL and others. Video Transcoding that requires specific chipsets like the Intel QuickSync technology. 3-D Rendering for AutoCAD and other rendering applications. Financial and Scientific modeling that requires an immense amount of constant computations.
