The systems the business runs on.

BNS designs, builds, and maintains the infrastructure underneath the office: the network, the servers, the backups, and the security around them.

Systems & Network Architecture

A network that was planned behaves better than one that grew by accident. BNS designs new networks and untangles existing ones, from a single office to multiple sites connected securely.

  • LAN and WAN design, switching, VLANs, and structured wiring
  • Site-to-site and remote-access VPNs between offices and home workers
  • Wi-Fi coverage planning with properly placed access points
  • Windows Server, Active Directory, DNS, and DHCP
  • Laptops, desktops, tower and rack servers, and NAS storage: sourcing, setup, and replacement
  • Microsoft 365 management: users, mailboxes, licensing, and sign-in security
Platforms
  • Windows Server
  • Active Directory
  • Cisco
  • Fortinet
  • Firewalla
  • Microsoft 365

Virtualization & Cloud Platforms

Running servers as virtual machines means fewer boxes to buy, faster recovery, and room to grow. BNS builds and upgrades virtual hosts, and moves workloads to the cloud when that is the better fit.

  • Host builds, storage attachment, VM deployment, upgrades, and patching
  • Migrations from aging physical servers to virtual hosts
  • Nutanix AHV cluster administration and support
  • AWS design: EC2, S3, VPC networking, IAM, and high availability
  • Immutable cloud storage with Wasabi
Platforms
  • VMware vSphere
  • Microsoft Hyper-V
  • Proxmox
  • Nutanix AHV
  • AWS
  • Wasabi

Backup & Business Continuity

Hardware fails, people click the wrong link, and storms knock out power. BNS builds backup and recovery plans sized to how long the business can afford to be down, then tests them.

Security & Risk Management

Most breaches at small businesses start with something simple: an unpatched firewall, a reused password, a backup that ransomware could reach. BNS closes those gaps first.

  • Firewall setup, rules review, and VPN hardening
  • Endpoint protection and patching
  • Multi-factor sign-in for email and remote access
  • Immutable, offline-capable backups as a ransomware safety net
  • Risk review with a prioritized, plain-English action list
Platforms
  • Fortinet
  • Firewalla
  • MFA
  • Immutable backup

Infrastructure Monitoring & Maintenance

After a project is done, BNS can keep watch. Care plans cover monitoring, patching, and health checks for servers, network equipment, and backups, so problems are caught before anyone in the office notices them.

  • Server, host, and network device monitoring
  • Scheduled patching and firmware updates
  • Backup job monitoring and periodic restore tests
  • After-hours emergency coverage for care-plan clients
