Microsoft SQL Server
Managed database servers for business-critical applications, reporting platforms, finance systems and line-of-business data.
- Workload-aware compute and storage
- Maintenance and performance monitoring
- Backup and recovery planning
Managed Windows and Linux servers for the databases, applications, identity and storage your organisation depends on. Our UK team designs, maintains and supports the whole environment.
One specialist team across mixed server environments.
Compute, storage and networking designed around the workload.
One accountable team with a complete view of the environment.
Your database, identity services, remote desktops, business applications and files each place different demands on infrastructure.
We design and manage environments around those demands. That includes the operating system, compute, storage, networking, security, monitoring, maintenance and recovery planning, with a UK team that understands how the components work together.
Platforms and workloads we work with
Each environment is designed around the application, its users and the operational importance of the workload.
Managed database servers for business-critical applications, reporting platforms, finance systems and line-of-business data.
Windows Server and Active Directory Domain Services for central identity, authentication, Group Policy and controlled access to resources.
Remote Desktop Services for securely delivering shared Windows desktops and applications to office, remote and multi-site teams.
Managed file and storage services for shared data, departmental files, application repositories and structured data retention.
Managed Linux environments for web applications, APIs, databases, development platforms and open-source business services.
Managed infrastructure should give you a stronger, clearer security baseline from the start. We incorporate practical controls into the design, configuration and ongoing care of your environment.
Our approach can support your organisation's compliance obligations by making technical controls easier to evidence and manage. Compliance also depends on your own policies, people and processes, so we will always be clear about responsibilities rather than promising that a server alone makes an organisation compliant.
Hardening and sensible defaults shaped around the operating system and workload.
Controlled administrative access, appropriate permissions and clear ownership.
Planned updates and maintenance aligned with the agreed service and application needs.
Operational visibility, alerts and service records that make ongoing management clearer.
Every Astley Digital dedicated server includes managed firewall controls and server-appropriate antivirus or endpoint protection as part of the service baseline. It is built into how we deliver and manage the server, not left as an optional extra.
We match the platform to the workload, using enterprise-grade hardware and storage devices with high-capacity networking available where the service design requires it.
Uplink speeds of up to 20 Gbps are available on selected infrastructure. The final specification depends on location, architecture and the service agreed for your environment.

Specialist team managing your service
Enterprise storage options selected for the workload
Server platforms remain at the centre of specialist applications, shared data and secure access across many sectors.
Host practice-management software, finance databases, secure file services and shared applications used across the working day.
Support ERP, stock, scheduling and operational systems, with RDS providing controlled access across sites and teams.
Use domain controllers, shared storage and central applications to create a consistent environment across multiple locations.
Run Linux applications, APIs, databases and supporting services on infrastructure designed around the application stack.
Server problems rarely sit neatly in one place. Performance, applications, access, storage, backups and security are connected. Our managed approach gives you people who understand those relationships and take ownership of the work needed to keep the environment dependable.
We assess what you have, clarify priorities and agree how ongoing management should work.
We understand the environment, workloads, dependencies and current concerns.
We agree responsibilities, priorities and a practical transition approach.
Our specialists take ownership of ongoing care, communication and improvement.
