Dedicated Servers
When you need the whole machine
Single-tenant hardware, specified around your workload. For regulated data, heavy databases, licensing that demands physical cores, or simply the certainty that nothing else runs beside you.
Every resource is yours
On a dedicated server there is no shared CPU, no shared memory bus and no noisy neighbour. You get the full machine, the choice of operating system and stack, and root access to all of it.
We build the specification with you, install and harden it, and hand it over with monitoring in place. Then you decide how much of the running you want to keep.
Single tenant
No virtualisation layer between your workload and the hardware.
Data isolation
Useful when policy or an auditor requires dedicated hardware.
Choose the location
London, Dallas or Singapore, depending on where your users are.
Built to spec
CPU, memory, storage and network sized around the workload, not a menu.
Example configurations
Three starting points

Quotes are prepared by a Solutions Specialist and sent from sales@definitiveconcept.com. All prices in MUR, exclusive of 15% VAT.
Managed or self-managed
Both options run on the same hardware in the same data centres. The difference is who holds the pager.
Managed by us
- Operating system and stack patched on a schedule
- 24/7 monitoring with our team responding first
- Backups configured, tested and reported on
- Hardening, firewall rules and access review
Self-managed
- You hold root and run the stack your way
- We look after hardware, power, network and connectivity
- Hands-on-site available when something physical is needed
- Add Server Management later without moving the server
