Server Deployment

End-to-end server deployment — spec through go-live.

New business server deployment for Ahmedabad SMEs. From workload assessment through hardware selection, physical installation, virtualization setup, data migration, security hardening and documentation. VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox — chosen for your workload.

Full deployment scope

Everything from spec to production go-live.

New server deployment isn't just installing hardware. It's understanding your workload, sizing correctly, configuring for reliability, migrating data safely, hardening for security, and handing over complete documentation. We do all of it.

Workload assessment & sizing

What the server needs to do. Concurrent users, applications, storage growth, backup windows, uptime requirements. Right-sized spec — not oversized (wasteful) or undersized (bottlenecked).

Procurement & delivery

We can supply via Dell/HP/Lenovo channels, or you procure directly. Either way — we coordinate warranty registration, delivery scheduling, and site readiness before hardware arrives.

Physical installation

Rack mounting (tower or rack), power distribution, UPS integration, network cabling, cable management, labelling. Server room prep coordination — cooling, physical security, power redundancy.

RAID & storage configuration

RAID level selection (1/5/6/10 based on workload), hot spare configuration, storage pool design, LUN/volume planning. Configured for the right balance of performance, capacity and fault tolerance.

Hypervisor / OS install

VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Proxmox for virtualization. Windows Server or Linux for bare-metal roles. Domain integration, patch level bring-up, driver installation, initial hardening.

Application & data migration

Migrating from old server or cloud. Application installation, data copying with integrity verification, permission migration, DNS cutover, user acceptance testing. Planned migration windows to minimize disruption.

Backup configuration

Backup software deployment (Veeam, Nakivo, Vinchin, Acronis, or open-source), target storage configuration, schedule design, retention policies. Initial backup + tested restore before go-live.

Security hardening

Baseline security configuration, firewall rules, admin account restructuring, patch level baseline, audit logging, service account minimization. Right-sized security for business size and risk.

Documentation & handover

Complete document package: hardware sheet, network diagram, credentials vault, RAID configuration, backup schedule, licensing register. 90-day post-deployment support included.

Common server workloads we deploy

Right platform for the right workload.

Active Directory & file server

User authentication, group policy, network file shares with permissions. Windows Server 2019/2022/2025. Often the first server for growing businesses. Simple, well-understood, high-value.

Database server

MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, MariaDB. Sized for concurrent connections, database size, transaction volume. Storage layout critical — separate data, log, tempdb for performance.

Application server

Tally ERP servers, custom business applications, web application servers, mail servers. Common in trading, manufacturing, professional services sectors.

Virtualization host

Consolidating multiple physical servers into VMs. VMware ESXi, Hyper-V, or Proxmox. Better hardware utilization, easier backup, faster recovery. Often replaces 3-5 aging physical servers with one modern host.

Storage server / NAS

Central file storage, backup targets, media storage. TrueNAS Scale on server hardware for enterprise-grade storage without enterprise-grade pricing. Or Windows Storage Spaces for Windows-centric shops.

Backup server

Dedicated backup infrastructure. Veeam or Nakivo backup server + backup storage. Immutable backup targets for ransomware protection. Off-site replication configuration.

Deployment timeline

What to expect week-by-week.

Week 1

Assessment & proposal

Onsite visit, workload discussion, spec recommendation, written proposal with pricing. Free for business enquiries.

Week 2

Procurement

Order placed with OEM channel. Delivery typically 5-15 business days depending on model. Site prep completed in parallel.

Week 3-4

Install & configure

Physical install, RAID setup, hypervisor deployment, OS install, initial hardening, backup configuration, security baseline.

Week 5

Migration & go-live

Data migration, application deployment, user testing, DNS cutover, production go-live. Documentation handover. 90-day support kicks in.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

What does end-to-end server deployment include?

Everything from initial spec to production go-live: workload assessment, server sizing recommendation, procurement (or you can supply), physical installation and rack mounting, RAID configuration, hypervisor or OS installation, network integration, backup configuration, security hardening, user acceptance testing, complete documentation and handover, plus initial support period.

How long does a new server deployment take?

Depends on scope. Simple file server or Active Directory controller: 3-7 days from procurement to production. Database server or application server with data migration: 1-3 weeks. Multi-server virtualization cluster: 2-6 weeks. We give firm timelines in the written proposal.

Do you supply the server hardware, or do we buy it separately?

Either works. We can procure through our Dell, HP or Lenovo channels — often with reasonable margin and warranty registration handled by us. Or you buy the hardware directly (through your existing vendor relationships) and we handle everything from unboxing onwards. Cost comparison typically favours procurement through us for smaller businesses.

What hypervisors do you deploy?

VMware vSphere/ESXi (industry standard, extensive features, per-CPU licensing), Microsoft Hyper-V (included with Windows Server, good for Microsoft-centric environments), Proxmox VE (open source, no licensing cost, growing in SMB adoption). We recommend based on your workload, existing skills, and budget — not sales commission.

Can you migrate data from our old server to the new one?

Yes. Common migrations: file server data with permission preservation, Active Directory migration, database migration (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Tally), email/collaboration server migration, application server migration. Planned in the deployment scope with defined migration windows to minimize downtime.

What documentation do we get?

Complete deployment package: hardware spec sheet with serial numbers and warranty details, network diagram showing IPs and VLANs, credentials vault (initial admin passwords, service accounts), RAID/storage configuration document, backup schedule and target details, licensing register, maintenance procedures, and 90-day contact protocol for post-deployment support.

What happens after deployment?

90-day post-deployment support included in scope — for tuning, addressing issues that emerge in production use, minor configuration adjustments. Most clients then transition to server maintenance, IT AMC, or managed IT services for ongoing coverage.
