Managed Dedicated Servers, Engineered and Operated for You

Single-tenant dedicated hardware, run by engineers who treat uptime as the contract, not a marketing line. We deploy and operate your servers across EU and North American datacenters, harden them against DDoS, and own patching, monitoring, backups and incident response so your team ships the application instead of babysitting the box. EU data residency is available as a capability, with engineering based in Europe and an open-source-first toolchain you control rather than a black box you rent. When you outgrow single machines, the same team scales you onto a managed private or sovereign cloud without a rebuild.

Fully managed, end to end

  • Day-2 operations as a service: provisioning, OS and kernel patching, configuration drift control and hardening, automated via config management you can audit (e.g. Ansible, Salt, Puppet or declarative Nix - we adapt to your stack)
  • 24/7 monitoring, alerting and incident response from engineers, built on open observability standards like Prometheus, OpenTelemetry and Grafana rather than a locked-in agent
  • Backups, snapshots and tested restore runbooks so recovery is proven, not assumed - recovery objectives agreed up front, not after an outage
  • Security baselines mapped to recognised controls (e.g. CIS Benchmarks, OpenSCAP, ISO 27001-aligned hardening) and tuned to your compliance footprint
  • Performance optimization across CPU, memory, NVMe storage and network for the workloads you actually run, not a generic template

Built for resilience and reach

  • Network-level anti-DDoS that absorbs volumetric and application-layer attacks before they touch your services, with mitigation tuned per workload
  • Dedicated, single-tenant hardware - no noisy neighbours, no shared kernel, predictable bare-metal performance and full root control
  • Datacenters across the EU and North America, placed close to your users and your regulatory footprint, with EU data residency on request
  • Whatever runs on the metal is your call: bare Linux, a hypervisor or HCI stack, or a container platform (e.g. KVM/libvirt, Proxmox VE, k3s, RKE2 or full Kubernetes) - we operate it, you own the direction
  • Zero-trust access and secrets handling built on open building blocks (e.g. WireGuard, OpenBao or Vault, mTLS via cert-manager) so control stays with you

Sovereign by design, no lock-in

  • Your data, your keys, your control - encryption keys (BYOK/HYOK) and operational access stay with you, outside any foreign-operator reach under the CLOUD Act
  • GDPR-aligned controls and a Data Processing Agreement included with the managed service, with NIS2-readiness factored into the security baseline
  • A clear, no-rebuild path from managed dedicated servers to a managed private or EU sovereign cloud (e.g. OpenStack, Apache CloudStack, Proxmox VE, KubeVirt or Ceph) as you scale
  • Migration of existing dedicated or cloud servers into managed EU or NA hosting with minimal downtime, planned and reversible
  • One engineering partner across Amsterdam and Dubai for hosting, DevOps, observability and private AI workloads
FAQ
What is the difference between managed and unmanaged dedicated servers?

With managed dedicated servers we run the machine for you: OS and kernel patching, hardening, monitoring, backups, anti-DDoS and 24/7 incident response. Unmanaged means you get the bare hardware and network and own everything above it. Most teams choose managed so their engineers build product instead of doing system administration.

Do your managed dedicated servers include anti-DDoS?

Yes. Anti-DDoS mitigation is built in at the network layer to absorb volumetric and application-layer attacks before they reach your services, backed by monitoring and incident response from our engineers around the clock rather than a self-service dashboard.

Where are your datacenters located?

We deploy dedicated servers across EU and North American datacenters, so you can place workloads close to your users while meeting data residency and compliance requirements. EU data residency is available on request with engineering based in Europe.

Can you keep our dedicated servers within the EU and GDPR-compliant?

Yes. We offer EU data residency with engineering in Europe, encryption with keys you hold (BYOK/HYOK), audited access controls, tested backups and a Data Processing Agreement. Because we are an EU-operated engineering consultancy and not a US-incorporated hyperscaler, your data stays under your jurisdiction and your control.

Can you migrate our existing servers to your managed hosting?

Yes. We assess your current setup, plan a reversible migration, and move workloads to managed dedicated or cloud servers in the EU or North America with minimal downtime, then operate them for you. Contact us for a scoped migration plan.

How much do managed dedicated servers cost?

Cost depends on hardware specification, datacenter region, management scope and SLAs, so we scope each engagement to your requirements and provide a tailored quote rather than a list price. Contact us to discuss your workload.
