Using Less Saves Money

The average energy expense to operate a single office server is $50 - $100 per month, and typical utilization is less than 10%. In high utility rate areas, the cost of just the utilities to support one, single-use server will exceed the cost of the hardware in less than three years.

Using on-demand services like hosted email and collaboration services enable companies to take advantage of economies of scale with optimized data storage in disaster-proof data centers to save energy and money. This approach reduces the need for investing in on-premise software and hardware and the expense of maintaining and operating them, plus users have the peace of mind that their data is secure and backed up.
