Hetzner Migration · Derby

Hetzner Migration in Derby

Migrating Derby workloads to Hetzner, where capacity stops being something you summon. Dedicated servers are ordered and provisioned rather than started in seconds, and specific configurations are not always available — so an architecture that assumed elastic scaling needs rethinking before anything moves.

Why this comes up

The problem

The current design scales instances up during busy periods, and the destination cannot provision on demand.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Peak capacity planned for in advance, since machines cannot be conjured at short notice
  • Cloud instances used alongside dedicated hardware where elasticity genuinely matters
  • Provisioning lead times established before the cutover date is agreed
  • Managed services replaced with self-run equivalents, including the database
  • Data protection position confirmed, as the datacentres are in mainland Europe
  • Operational responsibility assigned, because support covers hardware rather than your workload

Working in Derby

East Midlands

Derby is an engineering city — aerospace, rail and automotive supply chains — so the work here skews toward integration with existing plant systems, quality and compliance workflows, and reporting that has to stand up to audit.

Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit.

Hetzner Migration in Derby — common questions

How quickly can we get another server?
Not in seconds. Dedicated machines involve ordering and provisioning, and particular configurations can be unavailable, so capacity has to be planned rather than requested — which is a genuine change for teams used to scaling by adjusting a number.
Can we combine both models?
Frequently the sensible answer. Steady baseline load on dedicated hardware with cloud instances for peaks captures most of the saving while keeping elasticity where it earns its price, and it avoids designing the whole estate around the rarest hour.
What does support actually cover?
The hardware and the network. If a disk fails they will replace it; if your application stops working that is entirely yours — which is reasonable at the price and quite different from providers whose support engages with the workload itself.
Does the location matter for us?
It is worth confirming against your obligations. The datacentres are in Germany and Finland, which suits many UK organisations perfectly well and conflicts with contracts specifying UK-only storage — a question for whoever handles your data protection position rather than an assumption.
Do you work with businesses across Derbyshire?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East Midlands, including Derby and the surrounding Derbyshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Derby businesses do you usually work with?
Most work here involves connecting shop-floor and plant systems to reporting the rest of the business can actually read, plus quality and compliance workflows that have to survive an audit. Beyond that we work across Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Rail Engineering, Automotive and Logistics.
Do you cover the areas around Derby?
Yes — we work throughout East Midlands, including Nottingham, Leicester, Loughborough, Birmingham. Derby is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Derbyshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
