Price it per device by type and response time, and attach a terms sheet that states what is and is not included.

That is why companies buy a server AMC, and why disputes start when the scope is vague. Write down the devices, the response time and the limits. The Word terms below are a starting point; have them reviewed before use. ## Server AMC scope - Devices: servers, storage, switches, routers, firewall, access points, with make, model and serial number - Preventive work: monthly or quarterly visits or remote checks (health logs, disk status, temperatures, updates as agreed) - Breakdown response: hours to respond and to be on site, by device priority - Parts: labour only, or listed parts included; devices under maker warranty handled through the maker - Backups and data: who runs them, how they are checked - Exclusions: data recovery, licences, misuse, power and environment faults, new projects ## Server AMC cost: how to work it out - Count devices by type; give servers a higher rate than switches. - Add visits or remote checks per month. - Price faster response (for example 4 hours) higher than next day. - For comprehensive cover, add a parts allowance by device age. - Add travel and margin; quote per device and in total. The method matches [computer AMC charges](https://servicepilot.in/blog/it-computer-amc/computer-amc-charges/); the devices are worth more, and response times matter more. ## Network AMC proposal Many customers want servers and network in one offer. Use one proposal with two device lists and separate response times. The [computer AMC quotation format](https://servicepilot.in/blog/it-computer-amc/computer-amc-quotation-format/) works with an added network table. ## Keep the device list right Most AMC disputes are about a device that was or was not on the list. In ServicePilot each server and switch is an [asset](https://servicepilot.in/features/customers-sites-assets/) on the customer's site, covered by the AMC, with its visit and ticket history. See the [IT asset register](https://servicepilot.in/blog/it-computer-amc/it-asset-management-excel/) if you start in Excel.

Software licences, data recovery and backups are usually separate unless listed. **Q: Can I add network devices to the same AMC?** A: Yes. List switches, routers, firewalls and access points by make and serial number, with their own response times if needed. **Q: How is server AMC cost worked out?** A: Per device by type, age and warranty status, visits or remote checks a month, response time and parts risk, plus margin. **Q: Who is responsible for backups?** A: Say it in writing. Either the customer runs backups, or backup checks are part of the AMC scope with a fixed routine. ## Related articles [IT & Computer AMC UPS AMC: Scope, Visit Checklist and Charges UPS AMC for service firms: what to cover, preventive visit checklist, battery terms, breakdown response, exclusions and how to price it.
