Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dedicated host?
A dedicated host is a physical server within a cloud provider's datacenter that is dedicated solely to your organization's use. This ensures your workloads run on hardware that is not shared with any other customer, providing enhanced security, compliance, and predictable performance.
Who is this license intended for?
This license is intended for businesses, particularly SMB and mid-market companies, that require dedicated physical infrastructure within Azure to meet compliance mandates, ensure performance isolation, or host sensitive applications.
How does this differ from standard Azure virtual machines?
Standard Azure virtual machines run on shared physical hardware. Dedicated hosts provide you with exclusive access to the underlying physical server, offering greater control and isolation than standard VM deployments.
