What is a Dedicated Server?

Our Hardware. Your Applications.

With a dedicated server, you have complete control over your own dedicated web server, without having to
purchase the server upfront. Patrick Solutions provides and maintains the hardware, while you concentrate on
running your business applications.

Patrick Solutions uses Supermicro and Dell dedicated servers to ensure reliability.

Improved Performance and Security

A dedicated server ensures you are protected from the affects of others sharing your server. Since no one else is allowed on your dedicated server all the disk space and processor power are reserved for you alone. You are not affected by someone else's bad code or infected files. You have eliminated the risk that your files will be
compromised by someone else.

With a dedicated server, you can install whatever applications you need and then configure the server however
you like.

Finally, with a server dedicated to your company, you can grow your IT infrastructure as you need it.

Uses

With dedicated server web hosting, you can consolidate and host all of your business applications. For example,
you can:

• Host your own website
• Create your own dedicated database
• Host your own email
• Backup your office data

If You Don't Have a Sys Admin

If you are not sure how to manage your dedicated server, Patrick Solutions can also provide server administration.
You'll then know that all your security patches have been installed in a timely fashion. The managed dedicated
server will be backed up, in the event of system failure. We will monitor the health of your hosted dedicated server
from our Network Operations Center (NOC). Patrick Solutions can even maintain the user and email accounts for you.

Monitoring

Patrick Solutions can add your dedicated server to our monitoring system and keep track of your server's health.
