Are you using your hardware to its full capacity?

During tough economic times, tough measures are required to make best use of your IT investment. Through InfraSwitch, AWI's detailed analysis of your Unix and Linux infrastructure, we can help identify the best options - including consolidation and virtualisation - and guide you through planning and managing the switch to a streamlined IT environment that works for your business, and your bottom line.

AWI managed the removal of 1000 legacy, end-of-life unix workstations from a critical trading environment in a large investment bank. The $350/month cost of each was reduced to $150. (See Case Study 3)

The average energy cost just for running a data centre last year was £5.3m. In the next 5 years, this is set to double to £11m. It is estimated that more than 80% of your server base is utilised less than 20%. In 2008, organisations with more than 100 servers wasted between £150,000-£200,000 supporting underutilised application/server combinations. Infrastructure flexibility is the answer, virtualisation and consolidation are the keys.
