dedizierte

Dedizierte is a German adjective formed from the verb dedizieren (to dedicate). It denotes something that is reserved for a specific person, group, or purpose rather than being shared. The form is used as an attributive modifier before nouns, with standard German inflection: der dedizierte Server, die dedizierte Ressource, das dedizierte System, die dedizierten Server.

In technology and business contexts, dedizierte is commonly attached to nouns like Server, Hosting, Lizenz, Ressourcen, to indicate exclusivity and control. A dedizierter Server or dedizierte Server refers to a physical server leased to a single customer, with exclusive access to CPU, RAM, storage and network resources. This is contrasted with shared hosting, VPS and cloud services where resources may be distributed among several customers. Benefits include predictable performance, stronger security, and greater customization, albeit at higher cost and management responsibility.

Beyond hosting, the term can describe dedicated licenses or resources allocated for a specific deployment or user, such as dedizierte Lizenzen or dedizierte Ressourcen. In everyday German, dedizierte is also used more generally to describe focus or commitment, for example in phrases like eine dedizierte Arbeitsweise, meaning a dedicated approach.
