Continued Growth
Simple Network Solutions and its parent company, SNS, Inc., were founded by three computer engineers in 1998.  With significant experience in Microsoft, Novell and UNIX operating systems, they are dedicated to helping small and mid-sized businesses in the Piedmont Triad meet their computer network needs.

Simple Network Solutions grew from the idea that the big companies of the Piedmont Triad should not be the only ones who benefit from computers and networks.  In fact, most companies, whatever their size, have a need for a computer network today.  Simple Network Solutions understands this and is dedicated to offering affordable solutions to all companies.

All of our network engineers are friendly, knowledgeable individuals with many years in the computer and network industry.   They also have very diverse backgrounds, providing you with a wide range of experience to draw upon.
