Hosting Solutions

Silver Networks provides reliable, cost-effective hosting for organizations that want stable infrastructure, predictable costs, and strong control over their data.

We operate privately owned Canadian hosting environments built for business workloads. Whether you need a fully hosted setup or a hybrid design that keeps key systems on-prem, we can build a hosting plan that fits how your organization actually works.

What makes our hosting different

  • Canadian hosting environments with a focus on privacy and control

  • Right-sized resources (so you are not paying for what you do not use)

  • Business-grade reliability and operational discipline

  • Secure-by-design connectivity options, including VPN-first architectures

  • Real support from engineers who understand infrastructure end to end

If you want a hosting quote, tell us what you are running today and what you want to improve (cost, reliability, performance, security, or all of the above). We will recommend the simplest solution that meets your needs.

Virtual Machine Hosting

Virtual Machine Hosting

Our virtual machine hosting is designed for business systems that need to be reliable, secure, and easy to manage over the long term.

Instead of forcing you into a one-size-fits-all package, we build hosting plans based on the resources you actually need. This makes it straightforward to start small and scale cleanly as your organization grows.

Secure, segmented by default

Each hosted environment is designed to be isolated and easy to control, including:

  • A private network segment (VLAN) for your hosted systems

  • A dedicated virtual routing/firewall layer for clean segmentation

  • Optional static IP addressing when required for your use case

Hybrid-friendly by design

Many organizations want some systems hosted and others kept on-prem for performance, cost, or operational reasons. We can build hybrid connectivity that keeps access secure and consistent across locations, including site-to-site connectivity and VPN-first access models.

Built for business workloads

Your hosted environment can support a wide range of needs, including:

  • domain services and authentication

  • file and application servers

  • remote access platforms for staff

  • database backends

  • line-of-business applications

  • email and collaboration platforms

  • backup and disaster recovery infrastructure

Managed the way you want

Some clients want fully managed hosting, others want a shared-responsibility model, and some partners use our hosting as a white-label backend. We can tailor hosting and support boundaries based on what makes sense for your organization.

Hosted Business Solutions

We host and support business-critical systems that need to run reliably day after day. This includes both well-known platforms and specialized line-of-business applications.

If you have an application that is important to your operations, the right question is not "can it be hosted?" The right question is "what does it need to run well, stay secure, and remain supportable for years?" That is what we design for.

Common systems we host for clients

Line-of-business applications

  • Accounting, ERP, and CRM platforms (for example: QuickBooks Desktop/Enterprise, Sage, Adagio, ACCPAC, Foundation, and other specialized systems)

  • Legal, logistics, veterinary, and other industry-specific platforms

  • Custom internal applications that require stable hosting and controlled access

Directory, identity, and access

  • Active Directory domain controllers

  • Group Policy and centralized authentication services

  • Secure remote access patterns that reduce exposure

Databases and application backends

  • Microsoft SQL Server and other database platforms

  • Application servers that require consistent performance and predictable maintenance

Productivity and collaboration

  • Remote Desktop and RemoteApp style application delivery

  • Email platforms (hosted where appropriate, and secured with sensible access controls)

  • Internal tools such as ticketing systems and team communication platforms

File services and internal systems

  • Windows and Linux file servers

  • Private file sharing and internal web apps (where appropriate)

  • Monitoring and operational tooling that improves reliability and response time

If you are not sure whether your application is a good fit for hosting, we can review requirements and recommend the best approach (fully hosted, hybrid, or on-prem).

Hosted Bulk Backup Storage

If you need a large amount of always-available ("hot") storage for backups or bulk data at a very low cost, our hosted bulk backup storage is designed for exactly that job.

Many organizations consider hyperscale providers (like AWS) for backup storage, then discover the ongoing costs and complexity can be higher than expected. Our bulk storage is a practical alternative for clients who want:

  • predictable monthly costs

  • always-online storage suitable for backups and large datasets

  • a secure access model (often VPN-first)

  • real support from people who understand the full stack

Built for off-site backups and large datasets

This service is commonly used as a backup target for:

  • Veeam repositories

  • Nakivo repositories

  • UrBackup servers

  • rsync-based backup targets

  • other backup and replication workflows

It can also be used for other bulk storage needs (for example, large archival datasets or surveillance video storage), depending on your performance and access requirements.

Reliability-focused design

We build bulk storage to be dependable and cost-effective, using proven approaches such as:

  • ZFS-based storage designs

  • multi-disk redundancy

  • ECC server hardware

Because this service is intended as a backup target, data stored here is not automatically backed up again unless you choose an additional backup option. This keeps costs low while still providing a reliable off-site storage destination.

Need a lot of storage?

If your project requires very large capacity (for example, more than 100 TB), contact us and we will design the right approach for your needs.

 

Next step

If you would like a hosting recommendation or quote, tell us:

  • how many users you support

  • what applications matter most

  • whether you want fully hosted or hybrid

  • your priorities (cost, performance, security, uptime, simplicity)

We will propose a hosting design that is secure, supportable, and right-sized for your business.
