Path to the cloud
Reduce your maintenance
overhead
by virtualizing and consolidating
servers
Done properly, consolidating server hardware through
virtualization can create many more business benefits than
simply reducing hardware costs.
Be aware of the cost of choosing
not to migrate
Over time the cost of not migrating actually exceeds the
cost of the migrating to new software – and without
getting any of the added benefits.
Turn an Update to a Strategic
Opportunity
Instead of just updating your OS, take advantage of the
opportunity to expand your company’s IT capabilities.
Microsoft will support customers
in whatever path they choose
By migrating to Microsoft’s Cloud OS, you will be able to
realize the full potential of a modernized infrastructure,
whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid scenarios.
