Server Administration Dubai

Server Administration Services Dubai

A well-administered server requires regular, scheduled attention, not just emergency intervention when something breaks. Our server administration scope covers all the tasks that keep a Windows or Linux server healthy and secure.

• Windows Server 2016/2019/2022: patch management, event log review, performance baseline
• Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian): OS updates, cron job management, package security patches
• Active Directory: user and group management, Group Policy, password policies, account audits
• DNS and DHCP: record accuracy, scope management, lease review
• File server management: share permissions, quota management, access-rights audit
• Backup verification: restore-test confirmation, backup log review, off-site or cloud backup integration
• Server monitoring: CPU, RAM, disk, network alerts configured with threshold-based notification
• Security hardening: unnecessary services disabled, firewall rules reviewed, failed-login alerts enabled

Windows Server Administration Dubai

Most Dubai SME server environments run Windows Server with Active Directory for user authentication, a file server for shared storage, and sometimes Exchange or Microsoft 365 hybrid. We manage all of these. Common issues we fix during routine administration: domain controllers with replication lag, backup jobs silently failing for weeks, event logs full of VSS errors, Group Policy objects applied to the wrong scope, and disk volumes within 10% of capacity without anyone having noticed.

Linux Server Administration Dubai

Linux servers running web applications, databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL), mail services, or Docker containers require different maintenance from Windows, but no less rigorous. We handle OS patch cycles (apt/yum), service health monitoring, log rotation, cron job verification, SSL certificate renewal, and database maintenance tasks. For businesses running web applications on Ubuntu or Debian in Dubai, we offer monthly server administration that includes security patching, uptime verification and performance review.

Server AMC Dubai: Monthly Administration Contract

Ad-hoc server calls are expensive and reactive. A monthly AMC for server administration gives you a defined scope of regular work at a fixed monthly cost, typically cheaper per task than booking individual visits and far more proactive.

• Essentials AMC (Request a quote): monthly patch run, backup log review, disk/CPU monitoring, 1 remote support session
• Business AMC (Request a quote): weekly patch check, backup restore-test quarterly, AD audit, event log review, 2 remote sessions plus 1 on-site per quarter
• Enterprise AMC (Request a quote): proactive monitoring with alerts, weekly review, monthly on-site, AD management, full backup program management, 24-hour response SLA

Server Setup and Migration Dubai

New server deployment and migration are handled as a separate project scope from ongoing administration. We set up Windows Server with Active Directory, configure DNS and DHCP, establish file-share structure with correct NTFS permissions, set up Windows Server Backup or a third-party backup agent, and document the environment before handing over. Migration from an older server (physical or virtual) includes data migration, AD migration if the domain is changing, and cutover planning to minimise downtime.
