Dedicated server management services offers a larger number of choices and advantages than other web hosting solutions.

• Hands-free control over your dedicated server. Fully managed server hosting relieves corporate management from the responsibility, expenses and worries related to dedicated server management.
• The ability to choose one’s managed private server (physical, virtual or hybrid, in case of complex management), operating system, IT equipment and other options.
• Access to top ICT expertise and cutting-edge technology.
• Four levels of management to choose from, without compromising server reliability.

Fully managed: fully assumed by the host: monitoring, software updates, operating system updates and upgrades, reboots, security patches and unlimited support.
Managed: medium level of management: monitoring, updates and limited support.
Self-managed: limited management: regular monitoring and limited maintenance.
Unmanaged: very limited or no maintenance.

Dedicated server management at CenterServ goes well beyond the standard basic services. It covers the entire computer equipment: managing, memory, security, storage, IT support and applications.

We also provide:

• A system administrator assigned to each client account. Five experts to check the job has been done to perfection for every managed dedicated server rented.

Our dedicated server management solutions focus on five main services provided by a team of professionals specifically trained in the management of virtual dedicated servers.

Operating system management

At CenterServ, the maintenance and management of business operating systems and open source software are included in our packages. We provide a choice of efficient operating systems: CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Microsoft, Free BSD and Fedora Core. We also install any other OS chosen by our clients.

Our OS engineers take over the whole dedicated server management, including its configuration, publication, security and memory, the data storage, backups and applications. Updates to the core system provide access to the latest versions of security patches, service packs, applications and system-wide vulnerability resolutions. The quality of our technological infrastructure ensures maximum stability for the applications running on your managed dedicated servers.

Network management

Our network engineers are responsible for the data transfer rate on the bandwidth and connectivity. They prevent failures, maintain transfer speed and maximize network resources. Load balancing and the redundancy of our multiple connections ensure high availability, with 100 % uptime. Our dedicated server management services come with an SLA certificate. Through multiple suppliers, we provide very powerful networks for managed dedicated servers using extra-wide bandwidths, now counted in gigabytes. This lowers the monthly rent for both large and small consumers. The pricing of our packs is based on transfer volume, chosen by the client.
