Dedicated servers
Physical machines taken on a term and managed to an agreed scope.
Workloads with a licence tied to a socket, or a steady load that never needs to scale.
They deliver alongside usNot everything belongs in a public cloud.
i2k2 runs managed hosting and colocation in India. We bring them in when a workload has a real reason to sit on named hardware in a known building — and we say plainly when it does not.
A capability partner, not a product purchase. One scope and one invoice, with their specialists on the engagement.
What we work with
The products, and who each one suits.
5 listed
Colocation
Rack, power, cooling and cross-connects in an Indian data centre.
Organisations that own hardware and need somewhere serious to put it.
Managed and private cloud hosting
Virtualised capacity with the hypervisor, patching and backups looked after.
Teams that want cloud behaviour without a hyperscaler bill or a hyperscaler learning curve.
Disaster recovery hosting
A second site holding replicas, and the rehearsal that proves a failover works.
Anyone whose DR plan has never actually been run.
Remote hands and overnight cover
People in the building who can reseat, re-image or swap a disk, and eyes on the monitoring out of hours.
Teams with no staff in the city where their hardware lives.
What buying through us changes
A partnership is only worth what it changes.
Better than list
Hosting and colocation are contracted, not listed. Hosting and colocation are contracted, not listed. We scope what you actually need before the term is signed — a wrong-sized commitment costs more than the rate ever will. The commercial terms are i2k2's to set.
Named contacts
A named engineer who already knows your rack and your build, instead of a ticket that starts from scratch each time. The response times live in the contract, not on this page.
Startup credits
There is nothing to apply for here — hosting is a contract, not a credit programme. Where the cloud side of your estate qualifies for a provider's startup credits, we sponsor that application separately and the provider decides.
How we help
The work around the product.
- Decide honestly whether the workload belongs here or on a public cloud — often it is the cloud, and we will say so before you sign anything.
- Size the hardware against measured utilisation, not against a peak somebody remembers from two years ago.
- Migrate the workload: application, data, DNS, certificates and the cutover window.
- Build the network the right way round — private links, firewall rules, VPN and access control before go-live, not after.
- Set up backups and rehearse the restore, then keep rehearsing it on a schedule.
- Run it afterwards: patching, monitoring, capacity review, and the renewal conversation started before the term ends.
Where this is not the answer
Dedicated hardware is a commitment. You buy a term, and elasticity is not part of the deal — if your load is spiky or your growth is uncertain, public cloud is the better answer and you should hear that from us first. i2k2 operates the facility and the hardware; availability figures and response times are theirs to state in the contract, and we do not restate them here. A managed host is also not an application team. If the application itself falls over, that is ours to fix, or yours.
