Managed Server FAQ
Everything you need to know about Managed Servers at centron
What are Managed Servers and what do they offer?
Managed servers provide a fully managed IT infrastructure. Our team of experts takes care of the operation, security, and monitoring of your servers. You benefit from maximum performance, high availability, and data sovereignty without having to worry about maintenance and administration.
Which operating systems can I use on the managed servers?
You can choose between current Linux distributions and Windows Server versions as your OS. This gives you full flexibility to use the operating system that best fits your use case.
How secure are centron’s managed servers?
Your data is stored exclusively in our ISO 27001-certified, highly secure data center in Germany. In addition to GDPR compliance, we provide SSL encryption, firewalls, virus and spam filters, as well as daily backups. This way, your systems are reliably protected and remain independent of U.S. providers and their access rights.
Can I scale server performance as needed?
Yes. With our ccloud³ VMs, you can flexibly scale storage, computing power, and additional features. Your managed servers adapt at any time to your workload and requirements.
Dedicated vs. Managed Server – what’s the difference?
A dedicated server provides you with exclusive hardware. You are responsible for administration, security, updates, and monitoring yourself (self-managed / root server).
A managed server, however, does not necessarily mean it is a dedicated server. At centron, managed servers can be based either on dedicated servers (hardware) or on powerful virtual machines (ccloud³ VMs).
The key point: with managed servers, we complement the infrastructure with our Premium Full Managing. This means centron takes care of maintenance, patches, monitoring, backups, and security. So you benefit from dedicated performance or flexible virtualization—without having to take on the administrative workload yourself.
Who are Managed Servers suitable for?
Managed servers are ideal for companies that need a secure and always-available infrastructure without employing their own IT staff for operation, updates, and monitoring. Startups as well as small and medium-sized businesses especially benefit from the relief and the high scalability that keeps pace with their growth.
Larger companies with their own IT department and high performance requirements often rely on ccloud³ VMs or dedicated servers, as these can be customized individually and cost-efficiently.
What exactly is managed by centron?
centron Managed Servers are designed for maximum performance and stability. All maintenance tasks, system monitoring, operating system updates, security patches, and backups are handled by our experts. This includes regular updates and patches, continuous monitoring, proactive security measures, and daily backups in our ISO 27001-certified data center.
In the event of issues or adjustments, our team is available around the clock. This way, you benefit from the full performance and flexibility of a professional server infrastructure without having to invest time or deep IT expertise into operations. Optionally, you can book additional service hours through our Managed Services.
How much does a managed server cost?
The cost of a managed server in Germany varies depending on the provider, scope of services, and contract duration. High-performance servers with extensive resources can quickly reach several hundred euros per month.
At centron, for example, you can get a managed server configuration for the use case of a Windows Server starting at just €69.52 per month, with 4 vCores (vCPU), 8 GB RAM, and 500 GB NVMe SSD. This example configuration provides a solid foundation for many business applications and can be flexibly expanded.
Which managed server providers are available in Germany as an alternative to U.S. providers?
In Germany, there are several hosting providers that operate managed servers in compliance with GDPR. centron is committed to 100% data sovereignty: our managed servers run exclusively in our own ISO 27001-certified data center in Hallstadt near Bamberg. With 24/7 monitoring, direct support, and a transparent service package, you remain independent of U.S. corporations and their legal access rights.
