Compute requirements
Describe workload type, concurrency and software licensing. Processor model, core count and memory should be chosen for the application, rather than a headline number alone.
DEDICATED SERVERS
Dedicated servers
specified for your workload.
Match a physical server to your application, data and operating requirements. Specify the processor, memory, disks and network, then request a quote for the complete configuration.

BUILD A SERVER BRIEF
Specify the workload before the hardware.
The application, data volume and operating model help determine the right hardware specification.
Storage requirements
Identify usable capacity, data growth and read/write patterns. Confirm disk type, redundancy, usable space and the separate backup plan in the quote.
Operational requirements
Agree the operating system, access method, network allowance and management responsibilities. Document maintenance and escalation arrangements before deployment.

Your quote will identify the processor model, components, disk arrangement, network allowance, location, setup fees and billing terms. No hardware is reserved by this planner.
Request a configuration quoteTHE OPERATING MODEL
Hardware is only part of the decision.
Decide who maintains the operating system, protects the data and responds when something needs attention. Include those responsibilities in the server specification.
- Choose an operating system supported by your applications.
- Agree who applies OS patches and application updates.
- Review firewall rules, access permissions and credential handling.
- Set backup coverage, retention and restore testing.
- Confirm any management service, monitoring and escalation arrangements.
Redundancy is not a backup. A disk layout can address certain hardware failures, but it does not replace independent recoverable copies of your data.
DEPLOY WITH A CLEAR HANDOVER
From hardware request to handover.
Review the requirement
Share the software stack, workload profile, storage needs, location preference and any licence constraints.
Approve the specification
Confirm exact components, recurring and setup costs, network terms, management scope and lead time.
Validate the environment
Review access, operating-system configuration, security controls and the agreed acceptance checks before bringing production data across.
DEDICATED SERVER QUESTIONS
Dedicated Server questions
How is a dedicated server different from a VPS?
A dedicated server is a physical machine assigned to a customer. A VPS is a virtual server with an allocated resource configuration. The right choice depends on your workload, hardware needs and operational model.
Are these configurations in stock?
The planner records preferences only. Available models, components, deployment location and lead times must be confirmed in the quote before an order is accepted.
Is server management included?
Management is a separate scope decision. A live order should identify the covered operating system and services, maintenance tasks, monitoring, approval process and any exclusions.
What is the usable storage capacity?
Usable capacity depends on disk arrangement, redundancy, file system and system overhead. Ask for both raw disk capacity and expected usable space when reviewing a specification.
Can my current server be migrated?
Migration must be reviewed against the source environment, application dependencies, data volume and required change window. A migration plan should include validation and a rollback decision.
