"A dedicated server is a single computer in a network reserved for serving the needs of the network. For example, some networks require that one computer be set aside to manage communications between all the other computers. " DEDICATED SERVER = CLOUD, just a new name for it. There's different dedicated servers also, some can 'run the game' without any graphics or local user, a fast PC dedicated to the game, with clients connected over the net. This was done in the Quake days, you would start a dedicated server on a PC, it would only show text, it would run the game, there would be no local player.
