MANAGED ERP HOSTING

Managed servers for business applications — without the cost and hassle of your own server

We host and manage the infrastructure for your application, with secure access, fast backup, redundancy and predictable cost — from €39/month excl. VAT.

Your critical application, available whenever you need it.

Fully managed virtual IT infrastructure, in a datacenter in Romania. You install your application as on a local server, but without the hardware investment and without an in-house IT team. We manage the infrastructure end-to-end and provide secure access from anywhere.

For NeoManager, Borg, SAGA, WinMENTOR, Ciel, Pluriva, Charisma, HAMOR Soft and any Windows or Linux application.
  • Server provisioned in under 1 hour after signing
  • Migration included — we coordinate with your vendor
  • Enterprise security — Fortigate + Bitdefender + NetBird ZTNA
  • Datacenter in Romania, GDPR compliant

NO HARDWARE WORRIES

A physical server on your premises means constant maintenance, risk of hardware failure, energy costs and the permanent stress of backups and day-to-day administration.

THE PUBLIC CLOUD TRAP

Public cloud can look cheap at first, but for an SME the total cost rises quickly through complexity, unpredictable bills and the need for specialized staff.

THE BALANCED FLOW ALTERNATIVE

Our virtual infrastructure lets you run ERP, CRM or databases in a secure, fast and stable environment, with a fixed cost and Disaster Recovery protection.

THE POWER OF A PHYSICAL SERVER. THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE CLOUD. A FAIR PRICE.

We provide a modern infrastructure on which you can quickly migrate or install any application hosted locally or in another cloud. You get high performance, security and professional administration, without the complexity and unpredictable costs of public cloud.
You choose the applications, we take care of infrastructure and performance.

Common problems

Recognize any of these situations?

Your own server with hidden costs

Hardware purchase, 24/7 electricity, air conditioning, no redundancy, ongoing maintenance, vulnerable security.

Azure/AWS too expensive

For a working ERP you quickly reach €200–500/month. Plus contract and support in English, plus hours of configuration.

A team that works remotely

Accessing the application from the office, from home or in the field is cumbersome. The VPN is slow or unpredictable.

Your ERP vendor says “you need a server”

You’ve been told you need a server, but got no clear recommendation. You don’t want to become an IT expert overnight.

Why Flow

Four things you get at Flow and not from the competition

Your IT team, already included

At Flow, server administration isn’t a separate tier you pay extra for. It’s included from the first euro. Our team handles updates, hardening, monitoring, incident response, optimization. For emergencies we respond in under 1 hour during business hours (Monday–Friday, 9:00–18:00) and under 4 hours outside them. For partner applications — NeoManager, Borg, Ciel, SAGA — we also handle the application updates. You have a single phone number and a single team.

“No upgrade tier. No surcharge when the server needs attention.”

Built for your applications, not for websites

Flow Cloud servers are configured for ERPs and client-server applications, running on Windows Server or Linux. That means: operating system licenses included, SQL Server Express included, RDP with admin rights, enough ECC memory and NVMe storage to run 20–200 active sessions simultaneously. Active Directory for organizing users. Daily backups with configurable retention. Disaster recovery included, not an add-on.

“SAGA, WinMENTOR, NeoManager, Borg, Ciel, Charisma, Pluriva, HAMOR Soft — all run natively.”

One fixed price. One invoice. No surprises.

The listed price is your real price. All the essentials — Windows Server / Linux, SQL Server Express, administration, backup, disaster recovery, anti-DDoS, support, enterprise security — are already included. You pay in RON, invoiced in Romania, contract in Romanian. If your company grows and you need more, you upgrade between plans without data loss and without re-implementation.

“By comparison, your own server at real cost runs 2–5x more on TCO.”

Bank-grade security. Mobile-app access.

All traffic to your server passes through a Fortinet Fortigate enterprise firewall with the full FortiGuard services active — IPS, gateway antivirus, web filtering, application control, anti-bot. On every server Bitdefender is installed as a second layer. For team access you choose: NetBird (ZTNA) — a modern, peer-to-peer alternative, installed in 5 minutes on any device — or FortiClient VPN SSL. No user limit. Four layers of protection you’d otherwise buy separately.

“Connect from anywhere, in 5 minutes, without the hassle of a VPN.”
Comparison

How does Flow compare with the 3 real alternatives?

A business owner usually has three options to compare: your own server (perhaps the one you already have), Azure/AWS or Flow. Here’s what you actually get in each case.

What you get / bear Your own server Azure / AWS Flow Cloud
Initial / setup cost €2,000–15,000 upfront 0 0 (no activation fee)
Monthly cost — server hardware ~€55–400/mo amortized ~€150–400/mo included
Electricity + AC 24/7 ~€100/mo included included
Redundant internet €50–150/mo included included
Windows Server licenses you buy (~€600–1,500) extra monthly cost included
SQL Server Express you install you install included
Hardware maintenance you n/a included
OS updates you you included
ERP application updates you, with the vendor you, with the vendor included for NeoManager, Borg, Ciel, SAGA
Daily backup + DR you build it extra cost included
24/7 server monitoring you build it extra cost 24/7 included
VPN or modern ZTNA you configure you configure NetBird ZTNA + VPN SSL included
Enterprise firewall + FortiGuard services €3,000–7,000/yr ~€100–300/mo Fortigate included, all services active
Antivirus on the server €3–8/device/mo extra cost Bitdefender included
Coordination with ERP vendor you you included
Contract & support language n/a English Romanian
Real TCO / month ~€200–500 ~€300–700 €39–99 fixed
It looks cheap until you do the math. With your own server, you pay for the power, the air conditioning, the redundancy, the security — and you spend your own time when things go wrong.

Answers

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between Flow Cloud and a Windows VPS?

A VPS is just the server. Flow Cloud includes the server plus the Windows Server / Linux license, SQL Server Express, IT team administration, monitoring, backup, disaster recovery, enterprise security (Fortigate + Bitdefender), ZTNA access with NetBird and application migration. In short, you get everything an in-house IT person would provide, but at a fixed monthly price.

What if I already have my own servers?

We help you migrate. We coordinate with your application vendor (SAGA, WinMENTOR, NeoManager, etc.) and transfer the data with minimal downtime — usually over a weekend. Migration is included in the monthly price, at no extra cost.

Can I access the server via Remote Desktop?

Yes. Access can be done via Remote Desktop or natively through the ERP’s client-server application, over the secure SSL VPN or NetBird network.

Which ERPs can run on Flow?

Any application that runs on Windows Server or Linux. We currently actively host NeoManager, Borg/B-Org, SAGA C/PS, Ciel/NextUp, Pluriva, Active Directory and HAMOR Soft (on Linux). WinMENTOR, Charisma, SeniorERP and WizPro we configure on request. For any other application, tell us what you have and we check compatibility within 24h.

How long until the server is operational?

Server provisioning takes under 1 hour, guaranteed. Application setup depends on complexity and on the ERP vendor — typically 2–3 business days for a new client. A migration with data usually takes 7–14 days, depending on volume and coordination with the application vendor.

What security protection do I get?

At Flow you get four layers of protection included:

  • Fortinet Fortigate enterprise firewall at network level — IPS, gateway antivirus, web filtering, application control, anti-bot, anti-malware.
  • Bitdefender installed on every server — an additional layer on the operating system.
  • NetBird (ZTNA) or FortiClient VPN SSL for your team’s connection.
  • Tier 3+ datacenter with physical security and power redundancy in Romania.

This combination would cost €3,000–10,000/yr if bought separately.

How does the team connect to the server?

You choose one of two options, both included with no user limit:

  • NetBird (ZTNA) — a modern solution based on Zero Trust and WireGuard. Safer, faster, installed in under 5 minutes. Runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android. We configure it on your team’s devices via remote assistance.
  • FortiClient VPN SSL — the traditional solution, compatible with existing setups.
What does your own server actually cost over 3 years?

For a company with 15 users running a Romanian ERP, a realistic 3-year TCO:

  • Hardware: €2,000–15,000
  • UPS + cooling: €800–3,000
  • Electricity + AC 24/7: ~€3,600
  • Redundant internet: ~€3,600
  • Windows Server licenses: ~€1,500
  • SQL Server licenses: €2,000–10,000
  • Backup software: ~€1,500
  • Enterprise firewall + antivirus: €3,000–7,000
  • IT maintenance: €3,000–15,000

Realistic total: €20,000–60,000 over 3 years. With Flow Cloud Standard (€69/month) you pay €2,484 over 3 years — everything included.

Do I pay in RON or euro?

Invoicing is in RON, at the BNR rate. Prices on the site are shown in euro for clarity, but the contract and invoices are in RON. Payment by bank transfer or card.

What if I’m not satisfied?

The first 30 days are penalty-free — you cancel the contract and don’t pay the monthly fee. After 30 days, the contract has a minimum 12-month term, with the option to cancel within 30 days, paying for the services delivered up to the cancellation date.

Can I downgrade if my company shrinks?

Yes. You change plan with 30 days’ notice. Your data stays intact — we do the internal migration without any loss of information.

Is SAGA Web supported?

SAGA Web is offered as SaaS directly by the vendor — it can’t run on your server. If you’re already on SAGA Web, Flow Cloud isn’t the right product. For SAGA C and SAGA PS (the local version), Flow is an excellent option.
