Windows on the metal, and the keys are yours.

What you get
The whole machine, and a way into it from anywhere.
A Windows server is bought for the applications that need Windows. What matters after that is that nothing else is running on it and that you can always get in.
Full administrator access
Administrator on the box: customise the environment, install third-party software, run what the application needs rather than what a panel allows.
Remote Desktop
Connect from any machine with an internet connection. The server is not tied to the desk you ordered it from.
Ready in minutes
Provisioning runs on OpenStack, so the machine is usable minutes after the order rather than after a build queue.
SuperMicro blade hardware
Intel Xeon processors with hyper-threading, DDR3 memory and RAID 1 disks in a blade chassis — a smaller footprint, less power and less cooling.
A panel of its own
Manage and monitor the server from one custom-built interface rather than from four places at once.
Core managed backend
The infrastructure underneath — network, hardware, the room it sits in — is ours to keep running. The operating system on top is yours.
Getting started
This one starts with a conversation.
There is no plan table because there is no standard shape. What follows is what we would want to understand first.
Contact routing is not connected yet — this is an interface demonstration.
- 01 What you run today The platform you are on, what hurts about it, and what you cannot change.
- 02 What has to be true Availability, data placement, and the obligations you already carry.
- 03 How you want to work Who operates what, how releases happen, and who we call when something breaks.
Questions
Before you decide.
Windows Server 2019 Standard, and Windows Server 2012 and 2008 Standard for an application that will not move off them. Pick 2019 unless something forces the older ones: Microsoft's support for 2008 ended in 2020 and for 2012 in 2023, so anything exposed to the internet on those needs a plan for that. 2019 is supported by Microsoft until January 2029.
SuperMicro blade chassis: Intel Xeon hyper-threaded processors, DDR3 memory and 7200 RPM SATA drives in RAID 1. The blade format is there for a reason that reaches your invoice — a smaller footprint and less power and cooling per machine.
In the GPX data centre in Mumbai, India. If your visitors or your data-residency rules point somewhere else, say so in the form and we will tell you what we can do.
Three: the default address the server comes with, plus two more at no extra cost. More are available if the application needs them.
Network and hardware, and the two Windows-specific things people get stuck on: setting up Remote Desktop and sorting out Windows licensing. What you install on top of the operating system is yours to run.
The platform is built for it — the data centre's own HVAC architecture, current networking hardware, and machines kept to the current generation — and the figure attached to it is 99.9%. Ask us for it in writing before you rely on it commercially.
Acronis Cyber Backup, as a paid add-on bought alongside the server or later from the control panel. It takes full or incremental backups of databases, files, mailboxes and disks on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule, encrypted against ransomware, and restores quickly. Three things to know: it is sold for the USA and Asia locations, its term and renewal run independently of the server's, and it is not covered by the money-back period.
Thirty days on the server itself. The Acronis backup add-on is excluded from it, which is the vendor's rule and not ours to waive.
Because this shop does not sell this machine from a plan table — it is arranged with you. Tell us the application, the Windows edition and the resources it needs, and you get a figure that was worked out rather than rounded.
Tell us what the application needs.
The Windows edition, the resources and where it has to sit — that is the conversation, and it is a short one.
