Workload Profile and Metric Analysis
Current resource usage (CPU, RAM, Disk I/O, Network Throughput), peak usage times, and data growth rates are measured.
CONSULTING
Server Infrastructure Consulting and Compute Architecture Services
Server infrastructure consulting is a service that involves the end-to-end planning and scaling of the most optimal physical, virtual, or cloud-based compute, storage, and network architectures to meet current and future application and data workload requirements for organizations.
What is Server Infrastructure Consulting and Compute Architecture Services?
Improperly designed server investments can lead to high maintenance costs, underutilized resources, or system bottlenecks during critical load periods. Server architecture is not just about selecting CPU and RAM quantities.
The process includes analyzing disk IOPS values, latency, High Availability (HA) requirements, licensing models, automated backups, scalability, data growth rates, and single points of failure (SPOF). Physical hardware, virtualization, and cloud alternatives are analyzed from a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) perspective to determine the most suitable architecture for the workload.
Service scope
Platform and Cost Analysis (TCO / ROI)
On-premise hardware, data center colocation, virtual server (VPS/Bare-Metal), and Public/Private Cloud options are compared in terms of cost, performance, and authorization parameters.
Architecture Design and High Availability (HA)
Compute, storage architecture (SAN/NAS/NVMe), network bandwidth, cluster clustering, backup, and disaster recovery scenarios are designed.
Phased Migration and Transfer Plan
Hardware/service supply, data transfer, testing, go-live, and acceptance criteria are prioritized to minimize risks.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Who is it for?
- Organizations planning to invest in new server hardware, data center infrastructure, or virtualization refreshes.

Frequently asked questions
Should cloud servers or physical (On-Premise) hardware be preferred?
There is no single correct answer. Deciding between cloud and physical hardware without considering factors such as data traffic, licensing costs, expected growth rates, data privacy regulations (GDPR, etc.), and the operational expertise of the internal team can lead to inefficient budget utilization.
What data is needed to determine the correct server capacity (CPU, RAM, Disk)?
User count or concurrent session numbers alone are insufficient for capacity planning. Calculations should be based on actual CPU/RAM trend data from the existing infrastructure, real-time disk read/write (IOPS) values, network bandwidth consumption, and a 12-36 month projected growth forecast.
Is High Availability (HA) required in all server infrastructures?
No, not all workloads require the same level of HA architecture. A tiered availability model is designed based on the financial and operational costs of potential disruptions, the tolerance for maximum downtime (RTO), and the allocated budget.
