Metric Networks

What Metric Networks does

Metric Networks is a boutique IT consulting firm headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, specializing in enterprise IT infrastructure services with a horizontal customer base spanning residential homeowners, small businesses, and enterprise clients. The firm describes itself as a team of certified enterprise architects with 20+ years of combined experience delivering data protection, network infrastructure, and IT solutions. Its website states it has served 3 clients and operates with 1-10 employees, indicating a very early-stage and narrowly scaled operation.

The firm's core services comprise four interconnected offerings: (1) Residential & Business Data Backup — automated encrypted backup across local, cloud, and hybrid storage architectures; (2) Business Continuity — disaster recovery planning with tested RTO/RPO objectives covering hardware failures, ransomware, and natural disasters; (3) Enterprise Network Solutions — full-stack network design covering firewall, VLANs, SD-WAN, and VPN for homes to multi-site enterprises; and (4) VMware to ProxMox VE Migrations — full migration services from VMware to the open-source ProxMox VE platform, positioned as a cost-efficient alternative to VMware in the wake of Broadcom's acquisition. The underlying technical stack spans VMware, ProxMox VE, and Hyper-V virtualization, LAN/WAN/SD-WAN network engineering, and on-prem/cloud/hybrid architecture design. The firm delivers engagements through a structured four-step process: Discovery Call, Assessment & Design, Implementation, and Ongoing Support.

Revenue is generated through two streams: project-based professional services governed by statements of work, and recurring managed services support following project completion. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with no channel partners, resellers, or marketplace presence. Lead generation relies on a company website, a free consultation offering, and a decision-tree chatbot ('Metric Assistant'). The company is privately held, appears to be bootstrapped with no disclosed venture or private equity investment, and operates exclusively in the United States despite marketing nationwide service capability.

Core offering

Metric Networks provides project-based IT infrastructure consulting and professional services to residential, small business, and enterprise clients across the United States. Its core offerings are: (1) automated encrypted data backup implementation across local, cloud, and hybrid architectures; (2) business continuity planning with tested recovery objectives; (3) enterprise network design, deployment, and management covering firewall, VLAN, SD-WAN, and VPN; and (4) full migration services from VMware to the open-source ProxMox VE platform. Engagements follow a structured Discovery → Assessment & Design → Implementation → Ongoing Support process and are governed by separate statements of work.

Product overview

Metric Networks offers IT consulting and implementation services rather than a software product. The company provides a portfolio of four interconnected IT infrastructure services: (1) Residential & Business Data Backup for automated encrypted backup across local, cloud, and hybrid architectures; (2) Business Continuity planning with tested recovery objectives; (3) Enterprise Network Solutions covering full-stack network design, firewall, VPN, and SD-WAN; and (4) VMware to ProxMox VE Migrations for organizations transitioning from VMware. These services are delivered through a structured engagement process (Discovery, Assessment & Design, Implementation, Ongoing Support) and are not modular software products but rather professional consulting engagements governed by separate statements of work.
