Existing server audit
Assessment of dependent applications, their actual power consumption, and their age.
Servers and virtualisation for business applications in Belgium
Run your business software on a virtual server sized to your actual needs, without buying or maintaining a physical machine in a server room.
Older business software sometimes still requires a dedicated Windows server, and this server often runs in a room next to the toilets, with only one technician who really knows how it works and who isn't always available the day it breaks down.
Replacing this physical machine is expensive to buy, continuously consumes electricity, and leaves your business dependent on a single point of failure: if the power supply fails, everything stops dead, with no immediate fallback solution.
LTC Group hosts your business application on a virtual server sized to the power actually needed, with regular backups and continuity that a single machine cannot offer.
Exactly what we do
From auditing your current server
From auditing your current server
to hosted application.
02
Virtual server sizing
Choosing the necessary power and storage, without paying for unused resources.
03
Application migration
Transfer of your business software to its new environment, with a switchover planned outside critical hours.
04
Automated backups
Implementation of regular copies of your data and configuration, ready to be restored.
05
Availability monitoring
Tracking the load and health of the virtual server, to act before a slowdown becomes noticeable.
06
Power adjustment
Increasing or decreasing allocated resources according to the actual evolution of your business.
How it works
From audit
From audit
to planned switchover.
01
Free assessment
Thirty minutes to identify dependent applications and the constraints of your current server.
02
Detailed proposal
Virtual server sizing, switchover schedule, and detailed price excl. VAT.
03
Migration
Transfer of application and data, with a switchover typically scheduled for an evening or weekend.
04
Follow-up
Verification of stability after switchover and adjustment of allocated power if necessary.
Technologies
European hosting,
European hosting,
not a box at the back of a cupboard.
Your virtual servers are hosted with OVHcloud, on infrastructure located in Europe, the same approach used for our own automation tools.
Virtualisation allows multiple isolated environments to run on the same infrastructure, each sized to the actual load of the application it hosts.
Regular backups and snapshots of your server allow you to revert to an earlier state quickly in the event of a software issue or a failed update.
How much it costs
The required power, storage volume, and backup frequency affect the price. Costed for free after auditing your current applications.
Who it is for, who it isn't for
A physical server to replace,
A physical server to replace,
or an already solid infrastructure.
Who it is for
- Business software that depends on an ageing physical server
- Company that fears a hardware failure with no fallback solution
- Business that needs more power without heavy investment
Who it is not for
- Application already fully hosted in the cloud and performing satisfactorily
- Need for a simple individual workstation, without server software
- Very occasional use that does not justify a dedicated infrastructure
Typical example
An illustrative case,
An illustrative case,
not a published case.
Take a merchant who has been running their stock management software for over ten years on a tower unit sitting in a corner of the office. An employee dreaded a breakdown with every power cut, with no recent backup available. After an audit of the application, it was transferred to a virtual server hosted in Europe, with automated backups set up before the switchover. This merchant is a composite example created for the occasion, useful for showing the method, not a reference we would name.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask us
What people ask us
about virtual servers.
In the vast majority of cases, yes, the software doesn't see the difference. We check its compatibility during the audit before any migration.
We discuss this case by case with you: some companies keep it as a backup for a while, others prefer to dispose of it quickly.
Yes, that is one of the benefits of virtualisation. Allocated resources can be adjusted without having to change physical machines.
Only the people you authorise have access, according to rights that we configure together at the time of commissioning.
