Right-size and consolidate your Microsoft Server estate

Smart Provisioning gives organizations full control of their Microsoft Windows Server and SQL Server environments. We right-size and consolidate deployments across on-premises and cloud platforms – aligning licensing with real demand and exposing hidden inefficiencies that inflate cost and risk.

Server sprawl, inconsistent provisioning, and legacy configurations drive unnecessary expense and compliance exposure. Licensing is often based on peak capacity rather than actual usage, while hybrid environments make visibility even harder.

We eliminate waste, optimize performance, and build a sustainable foundation for ongoing efficiency and compliance – delivering immediate savings and lasting control of your Microsoft estate.

How Smart Provisioning helps

We combine targeted technical discovery, usage analytics, and Microsoft licensing expertise to deliver a focused optimization roadmap. Our team provides the insight and analysis needed to identify savings opportunities and regain control of your Microsoft environment.

Key activities include:

Data capture: We inventory selected target servers, virtual machines, databases, and resources identified in our consultation.
Usage and performance analysis: We identify dormant, over-provisioned, or inefficient assets.
Licensing alignment: We apply the applicable Microsoft licensing rules and metrics to optimize licensing configurations and identify potential savings while maintaining compliance.
Scenario modeling: We model the impact of consolidation, migration, or licensing changes to highlight the most effective optimization routes.
Optimization delivery: We provide detailed recommendations for how customers can adjust their environments for greater efficiency and cost reduction.
