Questions
Will consolidation cause downtime?
Each wave has a planned window agreed with you and a tested way back; most services move with a short cut-over.
What happens to the old equipment?
We wipe it to a recognised standard or destroy the drives, give you certificates, and recycle through authorised e-waste handlers.
How much can consolidation save?
It depends on the estate; fewer servers and rooms usually cut power, space, licences and support. The discovery report gives your figure before you commit.
