Server &
Network
Upgrades.
End-of-life isn't a strategy. We refresh servers, switches, and routers without ripping out what still works, right-sized hardware, modern protocols, and a defensible budget.
Plain English
What is
Server & Network Upgrades?
Server and network upgrades are the structured process of refreshing aging infrastructure, replacing or modernizing servers, switches, routers, and supporting systems, while minimizing operational disruption, controlling cost, and modernizing protocols and architecture along the way. Done well, you exit with a smaller footprint, better performance, and a clear lifecycle plan for the next refresh cycle.
What's Included
What's
In Scope
Lifecycle Audit
Every server, switch, router, and AP catalogued by age, warranty, license, and dependency. The exposure map you've been meaning to build.
Right-Sizing Analysis
Workload telemetry plus growth modeling. Most environments are 30%+ over-provisioned. We find the savings.
Vendor-Neutral Specs
Hardware specs by requirement, not by partner program. You procure on your terms, on your timeline.
Migration Design
Phased, reversible plan. Off-hours cutovers for risky moves. Rollback plans documented before a single screw is turned.
Installation & Cutover
Our engineers on-site or remote, depending on scope. Pre-flight checks, war-room cadence, post-cutover validation.
Post-Launch Tune-Up
30 / 60 / 90 day reviews. Performance baselines. Documentation handoff. Optional ongoing managed support.
How We Engage
Our
Approach
-
Assess
Lifecycle audit, workload telemetry, growth modeling. End with a heat-map and a written cost projection.
-
Architect
Target-state design. Vendor-neutral specs. Migration sequence. Rollback plan. Reviewed with your team before procurement.
-
Implement
Phased install and cutover with off-hours windows for risky moves. War-room cadence. Pre-flight checks per wave.
-
Operate
Documentation, runbooks, dashboards. Optional ongoing managed support or full handoff to your team.
Vendor-Neutral
Vendors We're Deep On
Partner of Choice
Why Tech Critic
Real architects on day one
Senior infrastructure architects with 15+ years of enterprise scars, not pre-sales people in disguise. We've designed networks for hospitals, banks, and manufacturers.
Vendor-neutral, not vendor-naïve
Deep hands-on across Cisco, Palo Alto, VMware, Microsoft, AWS, Azure, GCP, and Nutanix. We recommend what's right, not what pays the highest margin.
Fixed-scope, milestone-based
Written estimates before any work begins. Most engagements are priced by deliverable, not by the hour. You always know what 'done' looks like.
End-to-end ownership
From design through cutover through 90-day post-launch tune-up. We don't disappear after kickoff and we don't blame your team when something needs tweaking.
Five offices, one standard
Dallas HQ, Bogotá and Medellín for LATAM nearshore, plus Lahore and Dubai. Every office is ours. We don't outsource.
Operations playbooks included
Every deliverable comes with runbooks, dashboards, and documentation good enough that your team can actually own it after we leave.
You've Got Q's
We've Got A's
Don't see your question? Just ask.
How do you decide what to refresh vs. Extend?
Workload telemetry plus risk modeling. Servers running 30% CPU at 70% memory don't need to be replaced. They need to be re-allocated. Switches under warranty with current code don't need to be replaced. They need to be patched. We refresh what actually needs refreshing.
Can you handle multi-site rollouts?
Yes. We've done refreshes across 9-plant manufacturing footprints, 47-store retail chains, and 12-hospital healthcare systems. Each site gets a tailored plan; the program runs to a master schedule.
How long does a typical refresh take?
Single-site mid-market refresh: 12 to 16 weeks. Multi-site programs: 6 to 18 months depending on number of locations and risk tolerance.
Will you procure the hardware for us?
We don't resell hardware. You procure directly from manufacturers or your preferred VAR. We provide specs, BOMs, and negotiation support. That keeps our recommendations honest.
