Server & Virtualisation Strategy
Consolidate what has sprawled, and decide what genuinely belongs in the cloud.
Server estates sprawl quietly. One application needed its own box. Another was inherited. A third is still running because nobody is certain what depends on it.
The cost is real: power, licences, maintenance windows, and an ever-growing surface area to secure.
I review your server estate and workloads, then recommend a consolidation and virtualisation approach — including an honest assessment of what should move to cloud, what should stay on-premise, and what the migration would genuinely cost. No vendor incentives, because I am not reselling anything.
What you get
- Full workload inventory with dependency mapping
- Consolidation and virtualisation plan with expected savings
- Straight assessment of cloud versus on-premise, per workload
- Licensing review — most estates are quietly over-licensed
This is for you if
- Server hardware approaching end of life or warranty
- Rising licensing and maintenance costs with unclear return
- You are being pushed toward cloud and want an independent view
How it works
What happens during Server & Virtualisation Strategy
A defined sequence, so you know what to expect at every stage.
-
1
Workload inventory
Every server and application is catalogued along with what actually depends on it — the step most in-house reviews skip.
-
2
Cloud vs on-premise, per workload
Each workload gets a straight assessment, not a blanket "move to the cloud" recommendation — some genuinely should stay put.
-
3
Licensing review
Most server estates are quietly over-licensed after years of changes; this is usually where the first real savings appear.
-
4
Consolidation plan
A phased plan with expected savings, sequenced so nothing critical is touched during a production-sensitive window.
