You cut the energy costs of your IT infrastructure in three main ways: migrate your on-premises servers to the cloud, upgrade outdated network equipment, and remove old or inactive devices from your network. The biggest saving comes from the cloud migration, which can lower your IT power consumption by up to 60%.<\/p>\n
Energy costs are rising fast, and they hit businesses as well as consumers. Companies that run complex IT infrastructures across several locations feel the effect even more. IT infrastructure is a vital part of your business, and it is also one of your largest consumers of electricity. That is why many businesses now look for ways to cut these costs.<\/p>\n
Cloud migration is the process of moving your physical, on-premises servers to servers hosted in a data center and managed by professionals. It cuts electricity costs because you no longer power and cool your own servers around the clock.<\/p>\n
Many businesses still own one or more physical servers on their premises. On-premises servers raise your energy use and your costs. A daily automatic backup, for example, is good for safety, but it means your server has to stay on 24\/7 so the backup never fails. Depending on the size of the server, that gets expensive.<\/p>\n
Migrating to the cloud is the best solution for saving energy and building a more secure IT foundation. Professionals manage the servers, and data centers host them securely instead of your offices. You no longer need physical space for servers or power to run them. The cloud also improves business continuity and grows along with your company.<\/p>\n
ITAF has broad experience helping partners migrate to the cloud. When we move you to the ITAF Cloud, we estimate the resources your virtual platforms need accurately, so you only pay for what is necessary.<\/p>\n
Based on experience, you can easily save up to 60% on IT power consumption by migrating to the cloud. A physical server consumes between 100 and 500W, depending on its age, model, and load. If an average server uses 200W, the yearly electricity cost alone comes close to 1611 EUR at current prices.<\/p>\n
Network equipment is often outdated. These older systems carry some spare capacity, but you rarely use it fully, so they waste a significant amount of electricity. Upgrading them leads to real savings. A recent router model, for example, is 50% more energy efficient.<\/p>\n
Network costs are a large share of overall expenses, especially telecom costs. To cut them, review and renegotiate your telecom infrastructure and switch to cloud telephony software. A system such as 3CX cuts the overall cost of your phone bills by 80%.<\/p>\n
Recent technology is more cost-effective than older technology. Yet organizations often keep decommissioned or out-of-date equipment attached to their networks, and they rarely review their IT devices periodically. Old or inactive devices use more electricity, so you keep paying for them. Removing outdated equipment is a crucial step toward energy efficiency.<\/p>\n
ITAF works closely with customers to keep them on the latest technology. We provide proactive management of existing devices and 24\/7 monitoring, so we react in time when equipment is outdated or broken. Contact us if parts of your IT infrastructure need replacing or updating to more energy-efficient solutions.<\/p>\n

Yes. Outdated equipment wastes electricity. A recent router model is 50% more energy efficient, and cloud telephony such as 3CX cuts phone bills by 80%.<\/p>\n
Old or inactive devices still draw electricity even when you barely use them, so you keep paying for them. Removing them improves energy efficiency.<\/p>\n
