Single-tenant hardware, specified and managed

Dedicated Servers

Some workloads do not belong on shared platforms: they need isolation, predictable performance or data-handling control that dedicated hardware makes straightforward. Scalenta specifies, deploys and manages dedicated servers around those requirements.

Overview

A dedicated server gives a workload a home of its own: single-tenant hardware with no noisy neighbours, sizing tuned to the workload rather than the platform, and a cost profile that stays predictable as usage grows. That suits databases under sustained load, latency-sensitive services, compliance-sensitive systems and steady-state workloads whose cloud bill keeps climbing.

Scalenta treats the hardware as infrastructure rather than a one-off purchase. We size the machine against what actually runs, coordinate the platform and the facility, provision and harden the operating layer, then manage it — monitoring, capacity, patching and refresh planning — under a written scope.

Scope

What this covers

  • Workload-based sizing

    CPU, memory, storage and bandwidth specified from measured requirements — not from a catalogue's biggest number.

  • Bare-metal & dedicated virtualisation

    Single-tenant machines, or dedicated hypervisors when a workload wants virtualisation without shared infrastructure.

  • Platform & OS provisioning

    Operating system, hardening and baseline configuration provisioned and documented before handover.

  • Network & connectivity design

    IP addressing, firewalling and connectivity planned with the redundancy the workload genuinely needs.

  • Backup & recovery integration

    Dedicated servers joined to the same backup, vault and recovery discipline as the rest of your estate.

  • Monitoring & lifecycle management

    Health monitoring, capacity tracking, patch coordination and refresh planning handled on an ongoing basis.

Approach

How we work on this

  1. STEP 01

    Assess

    We look at how the workload behaves under load — CPU, memory, storage and network — and what it must survive. The result is a sizing and platform proposal with the trade-offs written out.

  2. STEP 02

    Deploy

    Hardware and connectivity are procured and provisioned, the platform is built, hardened and validated, and any migration is planned with rollback points stated up front.

  3. STEP 03

    Manage

    The environment joins the managed estate: monitoring, capacity management, patching and an escalation path — with lifecycle and refresh planning kept current.

What good looks like

Outcomes we aim for

  • Hardware sized to the workload, with growth headroom stated explicitly.
  • Performance that does not depend on another tenant's behaviour.
  • A predictable cost profile at steady state — no per-request surprises.
  • One team accountable for hardware, platform and operations.

FAQ

Common questions

When do dedicated servers make more sense than cloud?
When the workload is steady, sensitive or latency-critical: sustained database load, data-handling constraints, or scale where dedicated capacity is simply cheaper. The assessment models both honestly — including the cases where cloud stays the better answer.
Do you own the hardware?
No — as with the rest of our infrastructure services, hardware comes from established vendors and is placed in authorised partner facilities or your own environment. What Scalenta owns is the specification, the deployment and the managed operations around it.
Can an existing deployment be moved onto dedicated servers?
Usually yes. Migrations are planned in stages with pre-flight checks and rollback points, and the realistic impact — including any downtime — is stated before anything moves.
