Infrastructure Planning
Simple Server Networks helps small businesses and independent developers design, plan, and deploy reliable IT infrastructure that actually fits their needs and budget.
Plan It Right the First Time
Good infrastructure doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of careful planning, clear goals, and knowing which technologies actually make sense for your environment. We work with you to design networks, servers, cloud resources, and voice systems that are secure, scalable, and easy to support.
Whether you’re building from scratch, refreshing aging hardware, or expanding into the cloud, Simple Server Networks gives you a roadmap instead of a pile of guesswork.
Network & Connectivity Design
Your network is the backbone of your business. We design networks that are fast, stable, and secure—without unnecessary complexity.
- Local area network (LAN) and Wi-Fi planning
- Routing, switching, and VLAN segmentation
- Secure remote access (VPNs, site-to-site tunnels)
- Firewall placement and internet redundancy
- QoS and bandwidth planning for voice and real-time apps
Servers, Virtualization & Storage
From a single office server to multi-node clusters, we help you choose the right mix of physical and virtual infrastructure.
- Sizing CPU, RAM, and storage for current and future workloads
- Virtualization platforms (VMs, containers, and hypervisors)
- On-prem, hosted, and hybrid server strategies
- Shared storage, NAS/SAN, and high-availability options
- Backup targets, retention planning, and recovery objectives
Cloud & Hybrid Infrastructure
Not everything belongs in the cloud—and not everything should stay on-prem. We help you find the right balance.
- Hybrid designs that blend local servers with AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Akamai
- Workload placement: what to move, what to keep, and why
- Secure connectivity between on-prem and cloud resources
- Cost-conscious planning to avoid surprise cloud bills
- Migration roadmaps with realistic steps and timelines
Capacity Planning, Growth & Resilience
We design infrastructure that can grow with you instead of boxing you in. No more ripping everything out every two years.
- Performance and capacity planning for 1–5+ year growth
- Redundancy for critical services (power, network, hardware)
- Disaster recovery strategies and failover options
- Monitoring and alerting considerations built into the plan
- Budget-aware recommendations with clear trade-offs explained
Our Infrastructure Planning Process
We keep the process straightforward and collaborative, so you always know what’s happening and why.
- Discovery & Assessment – We review your current environment, goals, pain points, and constraints.
- Design & Recommendations – We propose a clear architecture with options at different cost levels.
- Roadmap & Timeline – We lay out phased steps so upgrades and migrations are manageable.
- Implementation Support – Our team can deploy the plan or work alongside your existing IT staff.
- Ongoing Review – As your business or project grows, we revisit the plan and adjust as needed.
Built for Small Businesses & Independent Developers
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all “enterprise” plans. Simple Server Networks focuses on practical, affordable infrastructure designs that real teams can deploy and maintain.
- Plain-English explanations instead of buzzwords
- Cost-effective designs that respect your budget
- Security and reliability baked in from the start
- Experience across on-prem, hosted, and cloud environments
- Direct access to the engineers planning your environment
