Energy companies can dramatically reduce the total cost of ownership by transitioning from legacy on-premises file storage to a cloud-based file platform. This shift eliminates hidden capital and operational costs, ultimately cutting overall infrastructure expenses by up to 67% and future-proofing operations against frequent hardware and tape storage refreshes.

Legacy storage at distributed energy sites hides massive capital and operational costs. This whitepaper offers a cost model to analyze the true financial impact of modernizing file infrastructure. Moving to the cloud eliminates the need for expensive hardware refreshes and dedicated backup sites. Highlights include reducing 5-year TCO by 63%, reclaiming 75% of admin costs, and shrinking disaster recovery from weeks to 15 minutes.

By reading this white paper, organizations will learn how to:

• Calculate the hidden hard costs of legacy infrastructure across distributed global sites.
• Evaluate soft costs draining IT budgets.
• Future-proof storage and reduce overall infrastructure costs by up to 67%.
• Decrease cloud storage capacity requirements by an average of 40%.
• And uncover other cost savings.
