Windows Server on KASTERVO

Run domain controllers, file servers and line-of-business applications on Windows Server compute instances inside your own KVPC. The instances sit on a multi-node high-availability cluster in a Digital Realty Tier 3 certified data center.

Common Bottlenecks in On-Premises Windows Server Setups

Capacity Tied to Physical Servers

On-premises, more RAM or storage for a server means a hardware change. In KVPC, compute instances are billed per GB of RAM, per CPU core and per GB of high-availability flash storage, so more capacity means more units on your bill, not new hardware in your rack.

RDP on a Public IP

Publishing RDP on a public IP puts the Windows login screen in front of anyone who scans for it. In KVPC, administrators come in through VPN connections you manage, and edge firewall rules you set decide what's reachable from outside.

Hardware Upkeep

Replacing failed disks and end-of-life servers takes time your team could spend elsewhere. On KASTERVO, the hardware and the high-availability cluster are ours to operate. Windows itself, from updates to Active Directory, stays under your administration.

From Server Purchases to a Monthly Price

The price of each compute instance is fixed every month and doesn't change with usage. Three-year plans keep the same rate for the whole term, and one-year and pay-as-you-go plans are there for shorter commitments. The pricing calculator shows the order of magnitude; it excludes software licenses, Windows Server included, and your proposal confirms the final figure.

How Windows Server Runs on KASTERVO

Your Own Network Layout

Place servers on VLANs with IDs you choose, define subnets and routing, and set the edge firewall rules yourself.

Connected to Your Office

A site-to-site VPN links your office network to the KVPC, so users reach file and application servers without a public endpoint.

In Practice

Backups with KEBS

Back up file and application servers with KEBS, built on Veeam and billed separately from your compute instances.
EU Data Residency and PCI-DSS

Files and application data stay in the EU under GDPR, on infrastructure that's PCI-DSS compliant at service provider Level 2.
Microsoft 365 Licensing

KASTERVO also provides Microsoft 365 licensing as a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider.
Encrypted Underlay

The network underneath your KVPC is encrypted end to end.
