Home / Services / Infrastructure projects, senior-led

The server is old, the backups are a mystery, and nobody owns the plan.

Infrastructure projects with senior judgment on top and a vetted specialist bench doing the deep work.

Infrastructure projects, senior-led
Everything runs on a machine in the closet that one guy understands.
Nobody has tested whether the backups actually restore.
Every vendor quote answers a different question.

How it works

1

Assess what you actually have

Inventory, risks, and the real decision: replace, move, or leave alone.

2

Bring the right specialists

I lead; a vetted bench does the deep technical work. You get senior accountability, not a rotating cast.

3

Hand over something documented

Diagrams, passwords, recovery steps. If I got hit by a bus, your next person could take over tomorrow.

What it costs

$2,500 to $15,000

typical project range. Ongoing monitoring goes to an MSP, and I'll help you pick one.

Not sure which end of the range you'd land on? Start with the assessment: it answers that with a guarantee.

What moves the number

  • One server or a whole office
  • Cloud move, replacement, or fix-in-place
  • How much downtime the business can tolerate

Are you an MSP?

No. Projects are my work; ongoing monitoring and help desk belong with an MSP, and I source and manage that relationship for you if you want.

Why not just call an IT company?

Do, for support. For decisions with five-figure consequences, you want judgment that doesn't profit from the answer.
