Managed dedicated combines quote-based bare metal with the Amherst Systems Lite, Standard, or Pro management layer for one server. It is built for workloads that need dedicated hardware but do not want every routine operating-system task to stay on the customer side.
The dedicated hardware is still quoted separately. The published management layer starts at $100 per month for one server and can be paired with monitoring add-ons or broader custom support when the environment grows.
Dedicated hardware is quoted separately, then paired with the chosen management tier.
Managed Lite is the entry management layer for one dedicated server.
Published management plans are scoped to one server before broader custom support is quoted.
Managed dedicated keeps the hardware quote and the management layer separate so both sides know exactly what is being bought.
Managed dedicated still starts with workload-matched bare metal. The hardware itself is quoted based on the machine profile the service needs.
Lite, Standard, and Pro remain the one-server management tiers that define the public admin scope, response priority, and included non-emergency work.
If the environment spans several dedicated machines or broader operational coverage, Amherst Systems can quote a support model beyond the published one-server plans.
Managed dedicated is not a flat all-in public bundle. Amherst Systems quotes the single-tenant hardware around the workload first, then applies the Lite, Standard, or Pro management layer on top for one server.
Lite, Standard, and Pro are the published management tiers layered on top of quote-based dedicated hardware.
Entry-level admin coverage for a single server.
Priority coverage with included out-of-scope hours.
Highest response priority with the most included hours.
These management plans cover one server. Monitoring add-ons, emergency work, and broader multi-server scope follow the current System Administration model.
Add monitoring when you want broader alert coverage and stronger escalation paths for uptime, services, storage, and system health.
Alerts only, with no guaranteed immediate action.
Critical escalation coverage with the fastest priority language on the page.
Managed dedicated is the better fit when the workload has already earned single-tenant hardware but the team still wants Amherst Systems involved in ongoing operations, monitoring options, and routine administration for that server.
Short answers about Amherst Systems managed dedicated servers and how the management layer is priced.
Managed dedicated combines quote-based dedicated hardware with the published Lite, Standard, or Pro management layer for one server.
No. The management plans are the admin layer only. The dedicated hardware itself is still quoted separately based on the workload and server requirements.
Managed dedicated is intended for teams that need single-tenant hardware but want Amherst Systems to handle routine administration, monitoring options, and operational support for that server.
