Cloud, Hosting & Colocation
Compare workload placement, capacity and operating models to understand where each platform makes financial and technical sense.
IT COST OPTIMIZATION + ANALYSIS
Spend on what matters.
Understand everything else.
Technology costs rarely live in one invoice. H2 looks across infrastructure, cloud, licensing, connectivity, telecom, support, backup and lifecycle decisions to build a clearer picture of total technology cost.
FOLLOW THE MONEY + THE ARCHITECTURE
Cost optimization without engineering by spreadsheet.
The least expensive line item is not always the lowest-cost architecture. We evaluate cost alongside performance, security, resilience, supportability and business requirements.
Total Cost of Ownership
Look beyond monthly invoices to hardware, licensing, support, staffing, refresh cycles, downtime exposure and operational overhead.
Licensing & Subscriptions
Review Microsoft, SaaS and infrastructure licensing for overlap, unused capacity, tier alignment and renewal planning.
Connectivity & Telecom
Evaluate circuits, internet, WAN, voice and communications services against actual requirements, redundancy and contract structure.
Hardware Lifecycle
Model refresh, warranty, maintenance and replacement decisions against risk, performance and the useful life of the environment.
Support & Vendor Consolidation
Identify fragmented support, overlapping vendors and operational complexity that can quietly increase the real cost of IT.
DECISION SUPPORT
Compare the options before committing the budget.
H2 can help model competing approaches before a migration, refresh, renewal or infrastructure investment.
On-prem vs. colocation vs. cloud based on workload and business requirements.
CapEx vs. OpEx with lifecycle and support costs included.
Migration economics including transition effort, dependencies and operational impact.
Resilience economics so cost reduction does not quietly remove redundancy or recoverability.

MAKE THE NUMBERS USEFUL
Before you renew, refresh or migrate, know the real cost.
Bring us the environment, invoices, requirements and decisions on the table. We’ll help build a clearer technical and financial picture.
