Server Licensing Optimization (SLO)
Server Licensing Optimization (SLO).
Greater efficiency. Lower costs. Future-proof IT.
Server Licensing Optimization (SLO) aims to make the licensing of Windows servers in data centers not only more efficient, but above all more cost-effective. The focus is on transforming traditional physical licensing models into a flexible licensing strategy based on virtually assigned cores.
Through detailed analysis of the existing licensing structure and the introduction of modern licensing models, license costs can be significantly reduced – often by double-digit percentages. At the same time, the use of existing server resources is optimized, which not only increases economic efficiency but also improves transparency and control over license usage.
Another economically relevant aspect is the downstream sale of licenses that are no longer needed. By selling them, companies can generate additional liquid funds that immediately relieve the IT budget. These financial returns can be reinvested in new technologies or strategic projects – an approach that sustainably strengthens both the financial flexibility and the innovative power of the company.
Costs can be significantly reduced through needs-based licensing.
Virtual licensing models enable dynamic adaptation to changing requirements.
Effective separation of future high-performance server hardware systems.
Optimized licensing strategies improve the utilization and usage of existing server resources.
Modern licensing approaches prepare the data center specifically for technological and operational developments.
Die nachgelagerte Lizenzveräußerung generiert zusätzliche finanzielle Mittel, die das IT-Budget entlasten und neue Investitionen ermöglichen.
