Dedicated servers

A dedicated server is single-tenant hardware. No other customer shares the processor, memory or disks, so performance does not move around when someone else has a busy afternoon. For databases, transaction processing and applications with tight licensing rules, that predictability is usually worth more than elasticity.

Specification is agreed per customer rather than picked from a retail table. We size processor cores, memory, storage type and network capacity against the workload you actually run, and we will tell you when a smaller machine or a VPS would do the same job for less.

Managed as standard means we look after the operating system as well as the hardware. Monitoring, security patching, backup, capacity reporting and hardware replacement are all covered, with our UK service desk raising the incident before you notice the problem.

Isolation helps with compliance. Where you need to show a client, insurer or regulator that data sits on hardware nobody else touches, in a named UK facility, a dedicated server gives you a clean answer.

If you are moving off an ageing server in a cupboard, the migration is the real project. We map dependencies, agree a cutover window that fits your trading hours, rehearse the move and keep the old system available until you sign off.
