Make sure to ask what SAN they are using. If it is something on that level, and they are using a real SAN. Cloud would be better 'TECHNICALLY' then one dedicated server. That is if the provider is doing cloud the right way. Learn cloud and ask questions, before you do that. But it is a better technology. You should also ask what kind of servers, what virtualization platform they are using, etc. A lot of people have different ideas of what cloud is and you dont want to get caught in the hype of someone doing it the wrong way.


Edit,

UCS is the BOMB.
