Ask HN: How can a rural small business get a custom PCB made?

from the ask-hn dept.

I work for a small local ISP (staff of about 10). Most of us are network engineers, we have one full stack developer and a couple IT helpdesk folks.

We need to build a motherboard with some specific IO ports. The board is to boot Linux (KVM) with some VM's on top that run a few virtualized routers/firewalls.

We're small, in a rural place and we don't have any resources that can connect us to an EE or even a direction forward. However, making a board that caters to our need is important to us and we have a good budget to get it done.

Would the community mind sharing some advice on a layout/design service that can take our purpose need and develop a good solution prototype for us?

Thank you for any time spent responding.
