Server Requirements For Yachts: Ensuring Reliability, Redundancy, and Resilience at Sea

In data-driven marine environments, server and related networking equipment represent the heart of a superyacht’s digital infrastructure. From navigation and maintenance systems to entertainment and security, a well-maintained and redundant server setup is crucial. Our white paper on ‘Server Requirements For Yachts’ is created to provide best practices for server setup and maintenance onboard superyachts, with a focus on backup strategies, virtual machines (VMs), and ongoing maintenance. It also highlights the importance of server monitoring and offers an overview about potential partners to provide support.

"At IDEA we're passionate about superyacht data, which is why we created this resource to support captains, ETOs, and management teams in understanding the foundational elements of a server installation and configuration. The exact implementation will, of course, depend on the individual vessel and project requirements. You are very welcome to contact us for further details or any feedback you have."
