Is Your Next Data Center Refresh Still the Right Investment?

Rising hardware costs are changing the math.
It may be time to rethink your on-prem infrastructure.

For many nonprofits, the next technology challenge isn’t AI, it’s figuring out what to do with aging on-prem infrastructure.

Data center refreshes typically happen every 5-7 years for nonprofits, and a lot has likely changed since your last refresh. Hardware, infrastructure, licensing, power, cooling, and ongoing management costs have increased, making the price of staying on-premises harder to ignore. Before committing to another major capital investment, it may be worth taking a fresh look at the numbers.

Join this session to hear what our expert panel has to say about on-prem infrastructure, Azure, and the true cost of your next refresh.

Topics We’ll Cover:

• Why The Economics Of On-Prem Infrastructure Are Changing 

  • What rising hardware and infrastructure costs could mean for your next refresh

• On-Prem vs. Azure TCO

  • What to consider when comparing the cost of refreshing your existing environment with moving workloads to the cloud

• What An Azure TCO Assessment Looks Like

  • What information is needed, what gets evaluated, and what you can expect to learn

• What Comes Next

  • How to use the findings to make a more informed infrastructure decision, whether that means staying on-prem, moving to Azure, or taking a hybrid approach

The Goal Isn’t “Cloud for Cloud’s Sake.”

It’s about understanding your options before you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars (or more) on another infrastructure refresh.

A TCO assessment can help you compare the real costs of your current environment with potential Azure scenarios and identify where cloud economics may make sense for your organization.
