A recent study reveals as much as 15% of servers world wide are not doing anything useful.  This backs our experience where most sites we have access to have show a significant number of grossly underutilised or idle servers.  The study shows the estimated cost of these servers being somewhere around $20.9 billion to run plus consume another $3.8 billon in energy costs.

Utilising our market leading Captell software package and your data, we can perform a thorough audit of your infrastructure and deliver a detailed report to you that includes:

• identifying all server resources in use by your organisation;
• reporting the utilisation of these resources;
• forward projections of the expected consumption of these resources;
• recommendations on consolidation and decommissioning of underutilised servers; and
• suggestions for cost saving process improvements.

The benefits to your organisation by commissioning a Captell Audit may include:

• a better up-to-date understanding of what your current IT infrastructure is and how it is being utilised;
• a basic understanding of the near future requirements for your infrastructure;
• a potential reduction in costs associated with running your infrastructure, including:
• hardware costs;
• software licensing costs; and
• environmental costs such as power and cooling etc; and
• where possible, improved procedures with a view to reusing existing IT infrastructure and reducing future costs.
