Fully Managed Dedicated Servers

When Dedicated Hardware Is the Right Fit

For some business-critical applications, databases and workloads, dedicated hardware is simply the best fit.

It gives you physical resources reserved for your environment, greater control over the server, and the flexibility to configure the hardware and software around what you actually need.

 

We’ll assess your requirements first and recommend the right setup. If dedicated hardware gives you the performance, control or isolation you need, we’ll explain what we recommend and why.

 

If a different approach fits your needs better, we’ll say so.

The Problem

When your workload needs dedicated resources

Our Approach

We’ll recommend the right dedicated setup, and manage it from there

  • Your business-critical systems need their own dedicated environment.
  • We start by understanding what you’re running, what it needs and what matters most to your business.
  • Security, compliance or internal requirements call for tighter control over the environment.
  • If dedicated infrastructure is the right fit, we’ll recommend the hardware and configuration you actually need, and explain why.
  • Your workload depends on a specific hardware or software configuration.
  • We’ll then take care of the ongoing monitoring, patching, security and backups within your agreed service.
  • Managing the infrastructure is taking time and technical resource away from your team.
  • And where you need greater resilience, we’ll help design that into the wider setup rather than leaving everything dependent on one server.

What You Get With a Storm Dedicated Server

Dedicated Hardware

Physical server resources reserved for your environment, giving you control over the hardware and how it is configured.

Configured to Fit

We recommend the processor, memory, storage, operating system and supporting software based on what you actually need to run.

Fully Managed

We look after the server environment, including monitoring, operating-system management, patching, security and backups within the agreed service.

Protection Built In

We apply the server-level security and protection your environment needs, with additional resilience recommended where the risk justifies it.

24/7 Support

Technical support is available around the clock, backed by people who can get to know your environment and what matters to your business.

Dedicated Infrastructure Can Be More Than One Server

Dedicated hardware doesn’t mean your environment has to depend on a single machine. We’ll recommend the architecture around the availability, performance and connectivity your systems need.

High-availability server mirroring

High-availability server mirroring

Where downtime needs to be reduced, we can design dedicated environments using additional servers and replication rather than relying on one physical machine.

Use the Hardware Efficiently

Use the Hardware Efficiently

Where virtualisation is the better fit, dedicated hardware can be divided into separate virtual servers for different applications, databases or services.

Connect What Needs to Work Together

What You Need to Know About Managed Dedicated Servers

A dedicated server is a physical server whose hardware resources are reserved for your environment. With a fully managed Storm server, we also look after the ongoing server management, monitoring, patching, server security and backups within the scope of your service.

Dedicated servers can be appropriate when you need physical hardware reserved for your environment, a particular hardware or software configuration, or greater control over the underlying server. Cloud infrastructure can be a better fit where flexibility, rapid resource changes or reducing reliance on individual physical hardware matter more. We’ll assess the requirement and recommend which approach makes more sense.

Yes. Where your availability requirements justify it, we can design dedicated infrastructure using additional servers, replication and networking to reduce reliance on an individual machine. We’ll recommend the level of resilience based on what you’re running and the impact an outage would have.

Yes. Where it makes sense, virtualisation can be used to divide dedicated hardware into separate virtual servers for different applications, databases or services. We’ll recommend whether that approach is appropriate rather than adding complexity unnecessarily.

Dedicated servers can support Windows Server and a range of supported Linux distributions, depending on the hardware and software you need to run. If an application depends on older software or a particular operating system, we’ll assess the requirement and recommend an appropriate supported setup.

Storm can manage the server and operating system, monitoring, patching and security updates, backups and restorations, firewall management and technical support. The exact scope is set out in the service and support plan agreed for your environment.

The cost depends on the hardware, software, connectivity, resilience and management your environment requires. We’ll assess what you need and provide a clear proposal showing the recommended configuration and ongoing cost.
