In our last article in this series, we discussed planning for building a Diamond in the Rough. We discussed an inventory of needs, and why it is vital to our business plan and server design. We also discussed creating a raw inventory of services.

In this article, we'll discuss refining our raw inventory through organization. We'll point out the benefits of organizing this piece of material. We'll also talk about creating a server blueprint, and the benefits of having one.

Finally, we'll close with using our blueprint to create a hardened system. This system will have the ability to withstand most network threats, while still fulfilling it's mission.
