Server Management

A server needs administering: updates, hardening, backups, monitoring, capacity. LaMeDuSe takes your servers under management : whether they're with us, another host, or in your own premises.

The problem you're facing

Your servers run, but nobody really administers them: updates wait, backups go untested, and the disk will fill up some Friday evening. Server administration rests on one person who has other priorities.

Our answer

We administer your servers day to day: patches, hardening, monitoring, tested backups and access management. With a team, not a person: holidays, illness and departures no longer create gaps in operations.

What LaMeDuSe takes care of

  • Inventory and documentation of your servers
  • Security patches applied within 24 to 48 hours
  • Hardening: SSH, firewall, fail2ban, kernel
  • Monitoring: availability, resources, services
  • Encrypted backups and restore tests
  • Access and privileged account management
  • On-call support and committed response times

    Takeover plan

    Risk prioritisation, documentation of the existing setup and monitoring in place from the first week.

  3. 3

    Operations & automation

    Day-to-day administration, automation of repetitive tasks, security patches and backup management.

  4. 4

    Continuous improvement

    Monthly review of incidents, capacity and costs, with a shared improvement roadmap.

Contracts with committed response times, 24/7 on-call for critical environments and a monthly operations report.

Why LaMeDuSe

Our administrators run the production servers of our own European datacenters : hundreds of machines carrying our platforms and our clients'. Server administration isn't a side job for us, it's the daily routine.

Frequently asked questions

Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL) and Windows Server, physical or virtual, with us, another host or in your premises. Remote administration covers most needs.

Yes: server management is independent of hosting. We administer servers at OVH, Scaleway, AWS or on-premise, with the same monitoring and security standards.

Regular restores to a test environment: an untested backup is not a backup. Frequency and strategy (3-2-1) are defined according to the server's criticality.

Monitoring alerts the on-call team, who intervenes by severity with contractual commitments. You're notified, informed of the analysis and resolution : not woken up for nothing, but never surprised.
