One of the main reasons that so many public sector organisations are implementing Server Based Computing and Virtualisation solutions is due to the fact that they are incredibly cost effective, when compared to a traditional PC network.

With server based computing the Total Cost Ownership can be up to 50% less than a PC network, and when you consider that you can reduce your ongoing costs by anything from 28% - 57% per year over a typical PC network, you can see why so many local authorities are introducing this technology.

One of the main cost reductions you will see is in your electricity spend. As Thin Client desktop devices consume about 75 watts, compared with about 300 watts for a traditional desktop PC, the amount of power saving is clear. In fact for Hampshire County Council has established that they save approximately 792,000 kWh a year, and that when items such as reduced travelling time are taken in to consideration that they save over £1 million per year compared to a PC Network.

Server Virtualisation also enables you to get more from your existing hardware. You no longer have to buy more servers, so you’re not waiting for equipment to arrive, fewer machines take up less physical space, will use less power, and are easier to maintain. This all means one thing. You save a lot of money!
