Server Solutions

Own your data.Stop renting your infrastructure.

Business servers, network storage, backup pipelines, and self-hosted apps — file sync, password managers, cameras, media, and internal tools running on hardware you own, backed up offsite, reachable securely from anywhere.

Best fit
Data ownership

Growing cloud bills, scattered files, no real backup, or apps you want in-house.

Core win
Owned + backed up

Your data on your hardware with tested local and offsite backups.

Foundation
Proven stack

Enterprise NAS software, containerized apps, encrypted offsite replication.

Server targets
  • One central, permissioned home for company files instead of five laptops, three drives, and someone's email attachments.
  • Snapshots and versioning that roll back deleted or ransomware-encrypted files in minutes.
  • Encrypted offsite backup that survives fire, theft, or total hardware loss — verified by actual test restores.
  • Self-hosted replacements for stacking SaaS subscriptions: file sync, password vault, camera storage, media, internal wikis.
Own vs. rent

Which subscriptions are worth replacing with owned infrastructure, and which cloud services are genuinely worth keeping.

Storage layout

Redundancy level, snapshot schedule, and how much usable space you need for the next three years — not just today.

Backup targets

What gets backed up where: local snapshots, second device, and which encrypted offsite destination fits your budget.

Who It Helps

A focused lane for focused work.

This page should help a buyer decide quickly: is this the right service, what gets built, and what happens next?

What We Build

File servers and network storage (NAS)

Central storage for the office or home: shared drives, user permissions, snapshots that undo mistakes and ransomware, and file sync that replaces per-seat cloud storage subscriptions.

Backup pipelines that actually restore

The 3-2-1 rule done properly: local snapshots, a second copy, and encrypted offsite replication — with scheduled test-restores, because a backup nobody has restored from is a hope, not a backup.

Self-hosted business apps

File sync and document collaboration, password managers, camera recording, media servers, monitoring dashboards, and internal tools — running as maintained services on your hardware, secured behind modern VPN access.

Main outcome

One central, permissioned home for company files instead of five laptops, three drives, and someone's email attachments.

Process
01

Audit the data

Where your files, backups, cameras, and subscriptions actually live today — and what happens if any of it dies tomorrow.

02

Design the system

Hardware spec, storage layout, backup targets, app list, access model, and a flat quote before anything is bought.

03

Build and migrate

Server build, storage pools, app deployment, data migration, backup pipeline, and remote access — tested end to end.

04

Verify and hand off

Test restore performed with you watching, monitoring configured, documentation delivered, optional care plan.

Starting Scope

Pick the closest starting point.

Each option is a clean first conversation, not a bloated package. We narrow it after the intake.

What you leave with
System design

Hardware spec, storage layout, backup plan, app list, access model, flat quote.

Running server

Built, configured, and migrated — storage, apps, users, and permissions live.

Backup pipeline

Local snapshots + encrypted offsite replication, scheduled, monitored, and test-restored.

Ownership handoff

Admin credentials, documentation, monitoring alerts to your inbox, care recommendations.

Business file server + backup

For teams whose files live everywhere and nowhere. Central storage, permissions, snapshots, and offsite backup that has actually been test-restored.

  • Server build
  • Shared drives + permissions
  • Snapshots
  • Offsite replication

Self-hosted app stack

For owners tired of stacking subscriptions. File sync, password vault, cameras, media, and internal tools on hardware you own.

  • App selection
  • Containerized deploy
  • VPN-only access
  • TLS everywhere

Backup rescue

For businesses running on luck. We audit what exists, build the 3-2-1 pipeline around your current setup, and prove it restores.

  • Backup audit
  • Local + offsite pipeline
  • Encryption
  • Restore test
FAQ

Before the first call.

Is self-hosting actually cheaper than cloud subscriptions?+

Often, yes — hardware pays for itself against per-seat fees in one to three years. We show the honest math per service, and keep cloud where it genuinely wins.

What if the server fails?+

That is what the 3-2-1 backup design is for: redundant disks, snapshots, and an encrypted offsite copy. We test restores before we call it done.

Can I access my files away from the office?+

Yes — securely, over a modern VPN, from any device. Nothing gets exposed to the open internet.

Do you run this stack yourselves?+

Yes. araNET runs its own production server infrastructure — file sync, password vault, monitoring, git hosting, and encrypted offsite backup — on exactly this architecture.

Who maintains it after setup?+

You can, with our documentation — or a care plan covers updates, monitoring, disk health, and backup verification.
