In plenty of Spanish small businesses, IT is scattered across places nobody really chose: the accounts package on the managing director's PC, the PrestaShop store on the cheapest hosting deal someone found back in 2016, and email sitting in the control panel of the firm that bought the domain years ago. It all holds together until a disk fails in the middle of a campaign, or someone working remotely from Cadiz needs access. We move those pieces into data centres in Spain and the EU (OVHcloud, Hetzner, Arsys, IONOS, or the Spanish regions of AWS, Azure and Google Cloud), and email into Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. From then on we run them from a distance, with nobody needing to travel anywhere.
Five services you can take on their own or mix together: capacity for your applications, a whole machine when the workload calls for it, a set-up geared to e-commerce, space for backups and archives, and email for the entire company.
Reserved cores and memory in a virtual machine for your business software, a database or staff remote desktops. Scale it up before year-end closing and bring it back down once the rush is over.
A complete physical server with no neighbours fighting over the disks. Built for ERP systems with large databases, warehouse management software and processing that never really stops. The data centre swaps parts; we handle everything else.
A server set up for PrestaShop, WooCommerce, Magento or self-hosted Bitrix24: caching, marketplace feeds that finish every run, frequent backups and extra headroom for Black Friday and the sales.
Pay-per-gigabyte capacity for backup sets, long-term archives and files your apps produce. It sits outside your network with a deletion lock, so ransomware has no way to wipe your copies.
Mailboxes carrying your own domain name, team calendars and synced phone contacts, most often on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Correct SPF, DKIM and DMARC records keep your quotes out of junk mail.
What you pay for the machine is merely the opening figure. Work it out across a three-year span, adding everything the hardware reseller's quote leaves out.
Option 1
A server in your office
You own the box, along with every chore attached to it.
Option 2
A machine in a data centre
The provider supplies the kit, electricity and cooling for a monthly charge.
Making the call
Which fits your business
Do the three-year sum with every cost included, not just the price of the box.
Your contract with the cloud provider is a GDPR document, not paperwork. Your company is the controller and the data centre acts as processor, so the data processing agreement, the data location and the list of sub-processors all need to be clear before anything moves. We review them and hand you what you need for your record of processing activities. If you handle health data, as a clinic or medical practice does, that special category calls for stronger safeguards. And if you work for the public sector, tenders often require the cloud service to meet Spain's National Security Framework (ENS), which is checked against the provider's own documentation.
The timetable is planned so nobody ends up staring at a screen with no service. Cutover normally takes little time, and the previous set-up remains on standby should anything go wrong.
Real consumption gets measured, and we go looking for the things that tend to break: a licence locked to a USB key, the SEUR label printer attached to one particular desk, a scanner dropping PDFs into a local folder, a backup job that saves to an external drive hanging off the server. Spotting them at this stage beats discovering them at nine on a Monday.
We create the machine with the chosen provider, copy the data over, and a small group of colleagues does genuine work on it while everyone else keeps using the current system, unaware anything is happening.
A final sync, then DNS records and desktop shortcuts are updated after hours or over a weekend. Your previous server keeps running for a few days in case we need to roll back.
For the first few weeks we keep an eye on resource use and resize, frequently to something smaller. The environment then moves into normal operation and the old hardware can be retired for good.
Yes. AWS has a region in Aragon, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud have regions in Madrid, and providers such as Arsys and IONOS run data centres in Spain. Where there is no specific requirement, other EU countries work too and are often cheaper. Either way, the location is written into the documentation you give your customers or your data protection officer.
Yes, with care. Health data is a special category under GDPR and needs encryption, tight access control, a log of who viewed what and a provider offering matching guarantees. Many clinic management systems already run in the cloud; if yours is installed on a server, we build it in an environment with those safeguards and help you prepare a data protection impact assessment where one is required.
The provider is responsible for power, network and hardware. What happens inside the operating system falls to us: updates, tuning, backups, monitoring and responding to alerts. That can sit in a Start plan (from €590 per month + VAT), Business or Premium, or be billed at €75 per hour + VAT. None of it involves a site visit.
No. Given a steady workload and a decent server room, a purchased server can hold its own over five years. Renting wins when there is growth, busy seasons, several sites or people working from home, because it turns a capital outlay into a fee you can adjust. We put both sums in front of you before you sign anything.
Yes. Every account and contract is registered to your business, and data is stored in open, movable formats. Ask and you receive disk images, database dumps and full environment notes, whether a different supplier is taking over or you want it all back on your premises.

No match found. Try another spelling, or go with the closest provincial capital: every job is done remotely, so the location makes no difference to what we deliver anywhere in Spain.
