core infrastructure optimisation

have you considered the benefits of consolidating your IT infrastructure?

Would you like to reduce your operating expenditure and turn your IT infrastructure into a strategic asset?

Companies all suffer from server sprawl.  New servers are added for a new product when existing servers would suffice.  Legacy servers are kept alive with low utilisation levels to run single applications.  Databases are created for ‘pilot’ projects and never get removed.......it’s time to optimise!

bit10 have formed a strategic partnership with Zymbian, who as a Microsoft Certified Partner, follow the Microsoft Core Infrastructure Optimisation Model for IT Maturity.  Together, we recognise that the more dynamic a companies’ infrastructure is, the greater the benefits realised by the business.

We will review your existing IT infrastructure and systems and produce a custom recommendation for Core Infrastructure Optimisation.  We can then help in the execution of this programme providing insight, experience and resources to assist where required.

We are currently offering the initial consultation and high level report FREE OF CHARGE.
