Case Study

80 servers switched off, without anyone noticing.

Around 80 servers were still running, and barely anyone knew why. Over about eighteen months we switched them off, not by simply moving them, but by simplifying and merging the processes behind them. The result: fewer disruptions, fewer outages, and clearly lower running costs, while the business kept going as normal.

01

Starting point

  • Around 80 servers were running, often without anyone knowing what for.
  • Disruptions and outages were part of daily life.
  • When things went down, orders were sometimes lost.
  • The running costs were high to match.
02

Challenge

  • Shrink the server landscape without risking operations.
  • Not just move things, but clean up the processes behind them.
  • Cut disruptions and costs for good.
03

Solution

  • Questioned every server instead of dragging it along blindly.
  • Simplified and merged the processes.
  • Switched off step by step, with minimal impact on operations.
04

Result

  • Around 80 servers are gone for good.
  • Disruptions and outages are far less frequent.
  • The running costs have dropped noticeably.
  • Operations kept running normally throughout the whole switch.
