Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Dedicated Host license?
A Dedicated Host license grants you exclusive use of a physical server within a cloud provider's data center. This means your virtual machines run on hardware that is not shared with any other customer, offering enhanced security, compliance, and performance predictability.
Who benefits most from Dedicated Hosts?
Organizations with strict compliance requirements, those handling sensitive data, or businesses needing guaranteed, predictable performance for their critical applications benefit most. This includes sectors like finance, healthcare, and government.
How does this license differ from standard Azure VMs?
Standard Azure VMs run on shared physical hardware, while Dedicated Hosts provide you with your own physical server. This isolation is key for meeting specific regulatory needs or ensuring consistent performance without 'noisy neighbor' issues.
