Spanish term or phrase: Montar
I'm translating a risk assessment document related to an internet company and the verb "montar" is used several times, and despite doing a bunch of research, I've not been able to figure out exactly what it refers to in the context. Here are some example sentences:

"Dos de los dos sistemas que monta este servidor son críticos:" - in reference to a back-end server, and the fact that they consider a failure in said server to constitute a medium-level risk.

"Servidor sin acceso público. Sólo se permitirá el acceso desde el servidor de frontend y el de apps. Monta una BBDD MySQL y un servidor de caché memcached." - describing the back-end server.

I really am quite lost as to how this should be translated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

English translation:to host
Explanation:
The first one could be "both of the systems hosted on this server". I'm not sure what the second one means, because I don't know how one server can host another, but perhaps someone who knows more about computers can clarify this. BBDD appears to be base(s) de datos - I'm not sure why it appears to be plural.

You could also say "running/installed on".

agree  neilmac: I wouldn't go that far. I just think it means "contains/holds/has/ houses ... (etc.) a MySQL DB and a memcached server"...

  -> Thanks. Does that mean the contents of another server have been uploaded to this one, do you think?

agree  Robert Carter: Ah, I hadn't read down to the bottom. Those options would work for me, given Lester's explanation of informal usage of "montar."

Explanation:
I'm no expert in IT, but experience suggests to me that this is simply jargon and means 'cuenta con' 'tiene' 'opera con'. Reminds me of car reviews of the type:
"El nuevo Clio monta un motor de 16 válvulas en línea de última generación que genera una potencia de... etc".
'Cuenta con' or simply 'tiene' would have meant the same.
A posher version of 'use' would be "operates on/with".
But the beauty of 'uses' is that it is very unlikely to be really wrong.

agree  Robert Carter: That's a good point. "Montar" isn't used that way here in Mexico, but I can see what you mean. Perhaps you could also use "run"?//Well, "montar" used in that way is new to me, so I wanted to credit you for teaching me something new :-)
