Server and Cloud Infrastructure

Practical guidance, deployment support, and best practices for servers, virtualization, backup, security, and modern cloud platforms, from first setup to troubleshooting and ongoing operations.

01

Manage Servers and Cloud, End to End

  1. Design: Architecture and Sizing

    Compute, storage, network, availability. Workload sizing, CPU, RAM, IOPS, growth planning · High availability, failover, redundancy planning · On prem, cloud, hybrid recommendations.

  2. Deploy: Implementation and Migration

    Windows, Linux, virtualization, cloud. Virtualization and hypervisor setup · Migration planning, cutover, rollback · Hardening baseline, access, and roles.

  3. Operate: Monitoring and Operations

    Alerts, patching, performance, cost control. Monitoring, alarms, capacity dashboards · Patching strategy, maintenance windows · Backup verification and restore drills.

Backup and Resilience, What Most Teams Miss

  • Backups without restore tests are not backups
  • RPO and RTO must be written and agreed
  • Immutable backup copies reduce ransomware impact
  • Monitor backup jobs, do not assume success
