Backbone-grade
networks for
businesses that
can't afford downtime.

FirstPeer Networks is an engineering-led IT consultancy delivering design, deployment, and ongoing administration for the systems that quietly keep B2B operations running — routing, firewalls, servers, virtualization, and the connective tissue between them.

01 / Capabilities

Four practices, one operating philosophy: ship reliable infrastructure and document everything.

01

Network Engineering

From single-site LANs to multi-site routed networks with policy-driven failover. We design for predictable behavior under load and during partial failure.

  • BGP, OSPF & static routing
  • Site-to-site & remote-access VPN
  • Firewall & segmentation policy
  • Wireless design & survey
02

Systems Administration

Linux and Windows server estates, kept patched, monitored, and recoverable. Runbooks written by the engineers who'd be the ones woken up at 03:00.

  • Linux (Debian, RHEL, Rocky)
  • Windows Server & Active Directory
  • Backup, monitoring & alerting
  • Hardening & patch management
03

Cloud & Virtualization

Hybrid estates that don't lock you in. We work across hyperscalers and on-prem hypervisors, and we pick the boring, durable option whenever possible.

  • Proxmox, VMware, Hyper-V
  • AWS / Azure / GCP advisory
  • Containerization & orchestration
  • Storage & DR architecture
04

Advisory & Audit

Independent review of an existing environment, a planned migration, or a vendor proposal. Plain-English findings, prioritized remediation, no buzzwords.

  • Architecture & topology review
  • Migration planning
  • Security posture assessment
  • Vendor & RFP evaluation
02 / Approach

The way we work is the product. Engineering culture, not a sales motion.

01 Engineer-led

Talk to the person doing the work

The engineer scoping your project is the one shipping it. No handoffs through layers of account management.

02 Vendor-neutral

The right tool, not the resold one

We don't have margin to defend on any particular vendor. Recommendations follow the requirements, not the kickback.

03 Documentation-first

If it isn't written down, it doesn't exist

Every engagement leaves behind diagrams, runbooks, and a clear inventory — so your team isn't held hostage to ours.

04 Boringly reliable

Optimize for the 03:00 page

We choose architectures that are predictable to debug at three in the morning, not the ones that demo well at conferences.

03 / Engagement

Three ways to work together — scoped to fit what you actually need.

Project

Fixed scope, fixed outcome

A defined deliverable: a network refresh, a server migration, a security review. Scoped, priced, executed.

Best for: one-time builds & migrations
Term: 2–12 weeks
Pricing: fixed-fee proposal
Advisory

Independent counsel

A second opinion on architecture, vendor proposals, or a contested decision. Time-boxed engagements with a written deliverable.

Best for: internal teams & investors
Term: 1–4 weeks
Pricing: hourly / day-rate
04 / Contact

Tell us about the thing that's broken — or the thing you're about to build.

Reach out with a short description of the environment and what you're trying to achieve. We'll come back with a scoping call or a recommendation that you can take elsewhere — your call.
