Cloud Migration without Dead Weight

IT infrastructure analyses detect costly “zombie servers”

The upcoming generation of IT infrastructure is cloud-based and will be energy-conscious and cost-efficient – as long as unused servers are decommissioned. Conducting a professional infrastructure analysis cuts through the undergrowth and roots out “zombie servers”.

Unused servers can have various causes – for instance, the IT infrastructure of companies simply expands with the company over decades, outdated technologies are absorbed due to corporate acquisitions or new services overlap with existing systems. In any case, it is worthwhile for companies to examine their IT landscapes because disorganised server landscapes provide cybercriminals with more vectors for attack, result in higher costs and jeopardise sustainability goals. However, many companies only stumble across such inefficiencies within their IT infrastructures once a move to the cloud is on the cards. Failure to take action in such cases places the success of modernisation efforts at risk.

In our white paper “Cloud migration without dead weight”:

we explain the relationship between cloud computing and sustainability,
we provide recommendations for action and
we show you tools to make your work easier, such as the Cloud Placement Organizer that displays the resulting individual server costs based on an analysis.

10 million

unused servers around the world are consuming energy and causing costs.

80%

of companies plan to migrate their local server capacities by 2025 according to Gartner.
