Linux & Windows Server Support: What Managed Administration Covers

Managed server administration is often reduced to 'someone else patches our servers.' In practice, a mature engagement covers a lot more than the monthly patch cycle.

Expect proactive monitoring with defined alert thresholds, security hardening against CIS or STIG baselines, automated backups with periodic restore tests, and clear runbooks for common incidents.

The most valuable providers close the loop between patching, monitoring, and incident response — so a memory-leak alert on Tuesday leads to a patch on Wednesday, not a ticket that ages for weeks.
