Managed Linux servers in EU data centres
We build, patch and monitor virtual and dedicated Linux servers for your workloads. You keep control of your applications, and we look after the operating system.
What is included
- Server provisioning
- We size and install virtual or dedicated servers to an agreed baseline.
- Operating system care
- Security patches and package updates follow a published schedule, and critical fixes go in within 48 hours.
- Hardening
- We set up and review SSH access, firewall rules, user accounts and keys.
- Service stack
- We configure web servers, databases and caches, and renew TLS certificates.
- Monitoring and alerting
- Resources and services are checked all the time, and alerts go to our engineers.
- Engineering time
- Each server includes 2 hours a month for changes you ask for, and we agree any extra time before we start.
How it works
Scoping. We review your workload, access needs and compliance limits.
What you receiveA written specification with server sizes and a split of responsibilities.
Build. We provision and harden the servers in the chosen data centre.
What you receiveAccess details and a handover note describing the baseline.
Run. We patch, monitor and respond to alerts under the agreed service level.
What you receiveA monthly report of updates, incidents and capacity.
Review. We meet quarterly to review capacity, cost and risk.
What you receiveA short list of recommended changes with estimates.
Right for you if
Your team writes software and does not want to run servers.
Your data has to stay in the EU.
You want to know which engineers look after your systems.
Questions
Do we get root access?
We agree access levels during scoping. If you change something outside the agreed process, it is recorded as your responsibility.
Virtual or dedicated?
Virtual servers suit most workloads and scale quickly. Dedicated servers suit steady high load, licensing limits or strict isolation.
What is out of scope?
Your application code and its releases stay with you. We can support deployments under a separate agreement.
Where are the servers?
In EU data centres run by UpCloud and other established European providers. We confirm the location in writing before the build.
