The verb conjugation must agree with the subject of the sentence, which is "the network". Since "the network" is singular, you use the singular verb "is".

"with the servers" is a prepositional phrase that qualifies the subject, but you ignore it when determining verb agreement. Imagine it like this:

The network is given to you.
Which network?
The one with the servers.
