What is the difference between managed virtual servers and a traditional server environment?
In managed virtual servers, the responsibility for the maintenance, security and ongoing monitoring of the environment lies with the service provider. This means that updates, monitoring, debugging and development suggestions are handled on your behalf.
In a traditional server environment, these responsibilities are largely left to your own organisation, tying up IT resources for maintenance tasks.
In addition, a virtual server environment scales flexibly according to needs, whereas a traditional environment often requires proactive capacity acquisition and investment.
What exactly is the service?
The service covers the entire virtual server environment:
-
Private cloud platform for virtual servers
-
Scalable resources (vCPU, RAM, storage)
-
Operating system and security updates
-
Continuous monitoring (performance and availability)
-
Fault diagnosis and expert support
-
Monitoring of resource use and proposals for optimisation
-
Documentation and proactive development
-
Automatic backup
-
Firewall-protected network connection
-
ISO 27001 certified business model
Can I manage the resources myself?
Yes. You have the flexibility to manage your environment through a self-service portal:
-
Change the resources on the servers
-
Create new virtual servers
-
Start and shut down servers
-
Take and restore snapshot copies
-
Review the use of resources
How is the service priced?
The service is priced according to usage:
-
You only pay for the resources you use (vCPU, RAM, storage)
-
Monthly invoicing in arrears
-
Costs are based on the number of days the resources have been in use
Flexible sizing means you avoid extra costs, and a managed service reduces hidden costs such as maintenance and the workload associated with disruption.
How quickly can I get the service up and running?
The service will be at your disposal quickly:
-
Use starts as soon as access to the management portal is opened
-
New servers can be created immediately from the portal
-
If necessary, the existing environment can be moved to the cloud in a controlled manner and with minimal downtime
The exact timing and content of the roll-out will be determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on your needs.
