Unlocking Cost Savings and Future-Proofing Your Business with IaaS: How Servers Australia Can Help

In today’s fast-evolving IT landscape, businesses are constantly seeking ways to reduce operational costs while staying ahead of the competition. One of the most effective strategies for achieving both objectives is moving from on-premises infrastructure to an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model. With high-performance processors like AMD EPYC™, businesses can realise significant cost savings and increase efficiency through server consolidation.

At Servers Australia, we specialise in helping businesses design and build cloud environments tailored to their unique needs, enabling them to maximise performance, reduce costs, and future-proof their operations. Here's how moving to IaaS can transform your business.

The Power of IaaS: A Game-Changer for Cost Savings

When you maintain an on-premises data centre, you’re responsible for every aspect—from hardware purchases to maintenance, upgrades, power, cooling, and staffing. On top of that, there’s the ongoing burden of software licensing, which can quickly add up. By transitioning to an IaaS model, much of this overhead is eliminated, allowing you to focus on your core business.

With IaaS, you only pay for the resources you need, when you need them. This not only reduces upfront capital expenses but also provides flexibility to scale as your business grows. You avoid the costly cycle of hardware refreshes and the need for expensive IT staff to manage it all. Servers Australia’s IaaS solutions enable you to run your workloads in a secure, scalable environment that is managed for you—allowing you to focus on innovation, not infrastructure.

Realising Savings Through Server Consolidation

One of the biggest benefits of moving to IaaS is the potential for server consolidation. Traditional on-premises environments are often underutilised, leading to wasted resources. Modern processors, such as AMD EPYC™, enable businesses to run more virtual machines (VMs) on fewer servers, reducing the need for multiple physical machines.

This consolidation not only reduces the number of servers required but also cuts costs across the board—lower energy consumption, less cooling, reduced physical space, and fewer maintenance expenses. By consolidating hardware, your business will see a significant reduction in operational costs while maintaining high performance and efficiency.

Reducing Licensing Costs with Core-Based Models

Licensing costs can be a significant burden for companies managing their own infrastructure. Many popular software products, such as Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and VMware, use core-based licensing models. This means that the more cores your servers use, the higher your licensing costs.

By consolidating your environment with fewer, more powerful servers—such as those powered by AMD EPYC™—you can reduce the number of cores and, in turn, lower your software licensing fees. For instance, a business using 10 physical servers with 16 cores each could consolidate down to 3 or 4 servers, dramatically cutting Microsoft, Red Hat, or VMware licensing costs.

Additionally, with Servers Australia’s IaaS model, licensing can be included in your subscription, meaning you’re not only cutting down on physical infrastructure costs but also simplifying your software licensing by bundling it into your service agreement.

Future-Proofing Your Business

Beyond the immediate cost savings, IaaS offers businesses a way to future-proof their infrastructure. As your business grows, your IT needs will evolve, and on-premises infrastructure can quickly become outdated or insufficient. With IaaS, scaling your environment is simple—you can add resources as needed without the need for new hardware investments or the long lead times that come with procuring and installing physical servers.

Moreover, cloud environments provide the flexibility to adopt new technologies quickly, whether that’s containerisation, AI workloads, or enhanced data security measures. Servers Australia’s IaaS offering is built to accommodate the latest advancements, ensuring that your business is always equipped with the most efficient and modern infrastructure.
