IT Infrastructure Optimisation: Doing More with Less
Infrastructure optimisation is about extracting maximum value from IT investments. In an era of budget pressure, organisations must find ways to deliver more capability without proportional cost increases.
Optimisation Areas
- Compute: Right-size instances, use auto-scaling, leverage spot/preemptible resources
- Storage: Implement tiered storage, automate lifecycle policies, deduplicate data
- Network: Optimise routing, use CDNs, implement caching strategies
- Licences: Audit usage, consolidate vendors, negotiate enterprise agreements
Quick Wins
Most organisations have immediate savings opportunities: unused resources consuming budget, oversized instances, redundant licences. A systematic review typically identifies 20-30% savings within the first month.
Sustainable Optimisation
Quick wins are just the start. Sustainable optimisation requires ongoing monitoring, regular reviews, and a culture where efficiency is valued.
