Cloud to On-Prem Migration
We saved our client $2.8 million over a 5 year period.
Gain a Tech CFO
Too often there is a disconnect between your engineering team & CFO. We bridge that gap. When migrating your servers to the Cloud, the monthly cost for Cloud hosting is understood to be the ongoing monthly fee for 5 years. However, as data builds, additional servers & users are added...the costs could double or triple in 5 years.
Our client was initially quoted $12,000/month. In 5 years, it was $48,000/month or $576,000 per year. In our case study below, you will understand our process & approach to technology, & how we keep costs down for our clients.
An inSync Case Study
Cloud to On-Premise Migration
How we helped our client
Our client's CFO brought us in & asked whether spending $576,000 per year on Cloud servers for 50 employees within one office was reasonable. And the answer was no, it was not reasonable.
Their staff
Their 6 member internal IT team migrated 51 servers to 4 different Cloud providers. And this migration was undocumented.
Besides the 6 internal staff members, there was also a consultant billing 40 hours/week. They were only supporting 50 employees in one location. Their IT team was laid off & the consultant's services were terminated.
Their monthly Cloud hosting fees were over $48,000/month & it was brought down to $0.00 with our on-prem solution.
We proposed a Cloud to on-prem migration onto a 2 server cluster solution. The hardware & software investment included the cluster, NAS drive, UPS...cost $103,000 & had a useful life of 5+ years. So far, with our on-premise solution, they have never experienced any downtime.
