When to consider
Azure Cost Optimization
Traditionally, IT assets have been acquired through capital expenditures (CapEx), involving significant investments in hardware that are then maintained by third parties throughout their lifespan. Once outdated by new technology, the hardware is replaced with another CapEx purchase, continuing the cycle. However, with current challenges like supply chain disruptions, talent shortages, and rising costs, organizations are under pressure to achieve more with fewer resources.
Beyond the performance benefits of cloud migration, Azure helps reduce technical debt, frees up IT support teams to manage more assets, and lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) over the typical lifecycle of a hardware investment. For high-performance SQL Server deployments, companies can see TCO savings of over 30%.
Why Embrace Azure Security?
Migrating workloads to Azure can provide businesses with a more flexible, scalable, and cost-effective infrastructure, along with enhanced security and integration capabilities.
