Why Expand EOSL Storage Capacity?
- Maximize Asset Lifespan: Avoid premature retirements by scaling up existing systems.
- Cost-Effective Growth: Save on hardware costs compared to new system investments.
- Future-Proof Your Storage: Meet increasing storage demands without disruptions.
- Extend your Migration Timeline: Ensuring you have ample storage to get you through your migration planning.
Identify Expansion Opportunities
The CDS Infrastructure Assessment identifies how your current EOSL storage can be optimized and expanded, ensuring your systems stay effective while freeing up budget for strategic IT investments.
Data Center Consolidation and Relocation
As enterprises shift to multi/hybrid cloud models, many data centers are now underutilized, increasing costs. To address this, organizations are focusing on consolidation and relocation to optimize infrastructure and align with evolving workloads.
The Evolving Landscape
With CPU utilization as low as 20%-40% in some data centers, consolidating workloads and relocating underused facilities can maximize efficiency and reduce costs. Remote work trends also push businesses to reassess data center locations for better management.
Energy and Hardware Efficiency
Data centers consume significant energy, contributing to global CO2 emissions. Consolidation reduces energy use and costs, while innovations in hardware, such as new high-density racks, and AI-powered management tools improve efficiency without increasing power demands.
Future Benefits
Fewer, more efficient data centers cut operational costs, reduce environmental impact, and free up IT teams for strategic projects. Consolidation, paired with automation and better resource management, positions companies for long-term success.
Getting Started
Effective consolidation involves virtualizing or retiring underutilized hardware, migrating workloads, and automating management. Partnering with CDS helps streamline this process, ensuring secure decommissioning and optimized infrastructure for future growth.
