Enterprise organizations depend on their datacenters for the IT services that run the business. Even in the best economic conditions, IT budgets are under scrutiny—more needs to be done with a limited amount of resources. iland can help.

Server sprawl

Adding server after server to your datacenter increases electricity bills, creates excess heat, and adds to your bulk. This “server sprawl” introduces greater complexity to datacenters and adds to the burden of IT management.

Total cost of your datacenter

In addition to power and cooling, the cost of hardware, software, floor space, and people comes into play—all of which directly relate to the number of physical servers in production.

The costs of over-provisioning

Over-provisioned physical servers in your datacenter are simply too great a cost to ignore. Most individual servers in a datacenter are operating at between 10 to 30 percent capacity—and that's costing companies an estimated $140 billion a year in unused server capacity. With the cost of operating power for servers set to surpass the cost to buy them in the next five years, now is the time to make your IT infrastructure green and lean.

Consolidate confidently

You can consolidate or eliminate your in-house datacenter by outsourcing hardware requirements to iland. Depending on your needs, iland can provide the cost-effective iland Resource Cloud© with a dedicated pool of resources, or the iland Enterprise Cloud© as a fully outsourced solution with dedicated and segregated resources deployed within high availability datacenters.

Lower your carbon footprint

Traditional in-house datacenters are bad for your IT budget—but they’re also bad for our planet. Underutilized servers are wasting tremendous amounts of electricity and creating millions of tons of carbon emitted by coal-powered plants. As organizations in all industries are coming under increased pressure from environmental regulations and public opinion, a greener IT infrastructure is good for your bottom line, the environment, and your company’s reputation.
