Overview
For serious business professionals, robust system performance and high
reliability are mandatory. CyberLynk Dedicated Servers enable you to outsource
critical IT functions while providing you with the flexibility of placing
Internet-based applications on servers located in our secure, state-of-the-art
data center.
CyberLynk's reliable systems and local Datacenter facility help you avoid
problems by providing powerful, scalable server solutions supported by
some of the most talented system administrators and engineers... people
in your own hometown.
A CyberLynk Dedicated server is a server that is leased to a single customer.
The server hardware, routing equipment, software and network connectivity
are monitored and maintained by CyberLynk.
What is the difference between Managed and Dedicated Servers?
- With a Managed Server, CyberLynk maintains
everything from hardware to software.
- With a Dedicated Server, CyberLynk ONLY maintains the hardware. The
customer maintains ALL the server software.
By using CyberLynk Dedicated Servers you will free up your IT resources
and save money by reducing your costs for:
- Maintenance of server hardware
- Capital expenditures associated with server equipment, upgrades, and
bandwidth
- IT human resource expenditures
- Security and monitoring
- Backups
- Downtime

to fit your needs. With the ever-increasing complexity of technology,
it's impossible to take a cookie-cutter approach to advanced Web hosting

to analyze your needs through our detailed assessment process. This process
examines your existing computer systems as well as your current and future
business goals. The result is a sensible, economical solution tailored

of your system you care to control and how much you want CyberLynk to
manage:
