Data Security and Privacy
Data will be stored all over the disk or storage media that you are sharing will all those multi-tenants.
Therefore to segregate your data from all the other tenants requires a tag or identifier to be attached to
each data record – much like a cloakroom system where you have to hand over an identifying ticket to
reclaim your coat and only your coat so that the attendant can distinguish yours from all the others.
But not only is this fraught with danger it is time consuming as the attendant in a computer system has
to check that every request for data is valid, which slows down data retrieval and running reports.
Having a dedicated server relieves you of all those problems as it is your data alone that is stored on
the dedicated server’s storage so querying and reporting is much more straightforward and secure.
