Discover our Server Re-Platforming Calculator
Insights from SCC customer engagements show that, on average, customers can consolidate physical servers at a 4:1 ratio and reduce physical CPU core requirements at a 2:1 ratio. In some cases, these values are even higher.
At the same time, recent market changes, including hypervisor software vendors shifting to core-based licensing models, have significantly impacted operational costs, especially for older server fleets.
Traditional capital buying cycles often led to purchasing excess capacity, resulting in an abundance of CPU cores. Software vendors now charge for these cores, regardless of their utilisation. Consequently, customers with older server fleets may be paying at least twice as much as necessary for core-based licenses.
This is why we have created our Server Re-Platforming calculator, to provide a quick assessment of potential saving from modernising your server infrastructure. Showing customers how they can avoid owning, keep re-platforming to boost efficiency and save energy, space and money. Try the calculator today to see how much your organisation could save:
