Managed dedicated server is a type of internet hosting where you can lease the entire server for your own use. It differs with shared hosting server where clients share the server with many other clients. You can have full control of the server when you lease a managed dedicated server in terms of operating system, hardware, software, among others. The hosting company can provide server administration as a freebie or an added service for a minimal fee.
Managed dedicated server also allows you to lease multi servers for your company’s exclusive use. It provides your company an added control over your presence in the internet. You are provided added security by gaining control of your internet presence.
Location of Managed Dedicated Server
Managed dedicated server is usually located in data centers with simultaneous power source. It this sense it is like colocation server. On the other hand, it is different from colocation server since it provide a server or system administrator and the client own the server itself.
Server Control
You can customize managed dedicated servers to meet your company’s needs in terms of server performance, software requirements, and multi-media and electronic business requirements. You can even host multiple websites using a single managed dedicated server.
Client Involvement
Although, the hosting company provides service on the maintenance of the server, you are also required to participate in its maintenance and management. You are required to provide a human resource staff to handle information technology and server administration maintenance that will coordinate with the hosting company in over all server maintenance.
Your staff will handle upgrades and patches in security which will be coordinated with the hosting company. Different levels of server management will be required in the form of additional users, domain and custom programming.
Managed servers are beneficial for your company but you need to assess the cost that it will entail on your operations. You must verify the cost involved before finally deciding to use it for your server requirements.
