Unmanaged Dedicated

Unmanaged dedicated servers for teams that operate the box themselves.

Amherst Systems unmanaged dedicated is for buyers who want single-tenant hardware quoted around the workload and are prepared to handle routine server administration, patching, configuration, and day-to-day operations internally.

This is still a quote-driven page because the right server depends on the workload, storage profile, operating system, bandwidth expectations, and protection posture. If the workload later needs admin help, the hardware can move into the managed dedicated path.

The server is reserved for one customer and one workload profile at a time.

Quote-based

Hardware, storage, operating system, and bandwidth are shaped around the workload.

You operate it

Routine system administration stays with your team unless you later move into a managed engagement.

How unmanaged dedicated quoting works

The goal is to quote the right machine for the workload without bundling in a management model you do not need.

01

Describe the workload clearly

Dedicated servers are quoted around the actual service profile, storage pattern, bandwidth expectations, and operational constraints instead of a generic public template.

02

Match the server to the workload

The hardware shape, operating system, protection posture, and network assumptions are planned around the job the server needs to do.

03

Add management only if you want it

The dedicated hardware decision and the ongoing administration decision stay separate so buyers can choose unmanaged or managed deliberately.

What unmanaged dedicated means in practice

Unmanaged dedicated is the better fit when you want the box, not an ongoing management relationship. Amherst Systems can still quote the hardware around the workload while your team remains responsible for how that server is operated day to day.
