DC CORE
Plan infrastructure management across your estate.
Plan Central across multiple locations, hosting providers and customer environments. Establish a useful inventory and access structure before you enrol the wider estate.
Map devices to the people responsible for them.
A mixed estate might include office PCs, hosted application VMs and Linux servers at a remote site. You can keep those systems where they are and enrol supported devices into Central.
| Planning decision | What to record |
|---|---|
| Ownership | The organisation and infrastructure group each machine belongs to, with a named operational owner. |
| Devices | Which physical hosts and VMs need their own agent. Each separately enrolled system counts towards licensing. |
| Access | The people who need visibility or management access, and the tools each target supports. |
| Operations | Who investigates health findings, approves changes and restores services. |
Use the Central product overview for the full feature set. This deployment plan helps put those capabilities to work across your existing infrastructure.
Validate one representative group first.
- Choose a small group that includes the operating systems and network restrictions you expect elsewhere.
- Enrol the machines using their setup information in Central.
- Check inventory, recent health readings and the access available to each role.
- Agree naming, ownership and support arrangements before adding further groups.
For a service provider, verify that users see only the permitted customer organisations and devices. For an internal IT team, check that server administration and everyday support permissions match the team’s responsibilities.
Choose software or managed operations.
Central starts at £10/month for up to five devices, with larger monthly packages available, excluding VAT. See pricing and separately charged resources.
Run Central with your own team or provider. If you need DC Core to maintain systems and respond to findings, agree a managed infrastructure scope.
