Managed dedicated server
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Managed dedicated server is a service that includes the hardware, software, and ongoing upkeep of a dedicated server. The dedicated server industry often bundles additional services and products with the servers to provide a deeper level of management.
Managed Dedicated Server providers employ full time system administrators that maintain dedicated servers. Management features include.
- Software updates
- Operating system updates
- Firewall services
- Backup services
- Advanced technical support
- Application deployment
- Database management
- Server monitoring and recovery
- Anti-spam and virus protection
- Security scans and audits
- Telephone based support
- Advanced configurations
- Control panel software
Companies that offer managed dedicated servers often include these services as packages with the server. Managed dedicated servers differ from dedicated server or unmanaged dedicated servers as the owners are not expected to be the full time system administrators.
