Yes, VPS and the virtual machines in particular are well suited for remote work. There are various use case scenarios for both single users, for example, freelancers or organizations that can increase productivity and create a safe technology environment with a VPS server hosting service.
High Availability of workflows: When some workflows are moved to a VPS hosted in any data center, this offloads the personal computer resources used. The business workloads are not interrupted upon any temporary suspension of the desktop or personal computers or outside the standard business hours.
Secure uniformed OS and software environment: When an organization uses a virtual machines to host most of its internal workflows, it applies a custom security and access policy. The users cannot modify the operating system (OS) and applications. The system administrator defines the security and privacy settings per the organization's policy. No malicious software could be installed by accident.
Secure digital communications: All incoming emails and files are filtered to apply the organization's custom security policy.
Improved effectiveness and reduced management time effort: When all the data and applications used by the organization are hosted in one location, the users save time on access, file management, and various other use cases.
Optimized data usage and management: The organization as a whole and its employees save a significant amount of data transfer on an internal document flow.
Data leak prevention: Using a uniform technology environment for the internal distribution of files and documents reduces the risk of accidental data leaks and other unwanted exposure of sensitive business information.
Data Loss Prevention: Unlike desktops and personal computers, virtual servers offer multiple, customizable data storage scenarios, which reduces the risk and prevents data loss. A VPS hosting service could use two separate virtual machines that operate as a High Availability (HA) Cluster. Such a configuration de facto guarantees 100% retention of the data and 100% availability of the applications and business workflows.
Here are some of the many use cases for resource-demanding workloads to host on a Virtual Private Server (VPS):
- Secure Business Email servers
- 2D and 3D design software
- Video, and audio rendering applications
- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems
- Customer Relationship Management applications
- Supply Chain Management systems
- Real-time data analytics platforms
- Inventory management software
- Financial Management and Accounting software
- Human Resources Management systems
- Event Management platform software
- Collaboration and communication systems for internal business communications
- Media streaming services
Overall, the use of VPS hosting, either in the form of a business collaboration server for multiple users or as a single user Remote Desktop, is a solid technology solution that improves overall security and productivity.
