Data Center Exit with Charon on the Cloud

A Data Center Exit Strategy Smoother Than You Imagined

Exit your data center with a plan that’s strategic and seamless. Charon on the Cloud makes legacy data center migration risk-free while keeping your work ecosystem unchanged and boosting performance.

Data Center Decommissioning Dangers

Data center exits are done frequently, but risks abound for this monumental task. Moving from physical hardware to the cloud brings jeopardies like the ones below.

Executional Failures

Coordinating events like the removal of physical hardware, data destruction after backups, fails in complete migration, etc., interrupts the process.

Financial Disasters

It might be difficult to reclaim the cost of equipment utilized earlier through recycling or reselling, causing a serious dip in value.

Data Security Risks

Data sanitization in physical systems is often inadequate and confused with disposal, leading to unauthorized access and data breaches.

Regulatory Mess

Failure to comply with regulatory laws and standards for e-waste and data protection causes fines, punishment, and restrictions.

Asset Mismanagement

The premature retirement of assets, coupled with the over-disposal of resources, will not only increase unwanted waste but also result in shortage.

Environmental Loss

Improper IT disposal not only harms the environment but also affects the ESG profile of the company and leads to regulatory and public censure.

The Threats of Data Centers

Data centers hold physical hardware, which poses risks. How? These reports speak for themselves.

Power outages cost over USD 1 million for one in five respondents, while the last outage had a serious impact for one in ten.

31% of breaches now start with software vulnerabilities, beating other factors, showing a shift towards system exploitation.

The cooling systems of data centers consume from 30% to 40% of the total energy required, which increases cost, among others.

A massive 38% of the asset value of global data centers is reduced due to the impact of climate change.

Data Center Exit Plan Redefined with Stromasys

Revolutionizing your data center can be a simple exit following all the rules and a move to Charon on the Cloud. It is the perfect way to migrate out of your data center and move to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or OCI.

No or Little Physical Dependency

With the physical hardware of a conventional data center gone, you will be able to counter data obsolescence, operational issues, hardware sprawl, cost troubles, and staffing problems.

Robust DR and Business Continuity

Facilitate disaster recovery easily and without the need for extra people or effort. In this age of geopolitical conflicts, maintain business continuity without the need to maintain on-premises hardware.

Greater Scalability & Flexibility

Expect the ability to upsize or downsize your computing power exactly as you need. Utilize the pay-as-you-go facility to expend for only what you use, preventing hardware want and overpay.

Minimum Costs, Maximum Sustainability

Without any hardware to take care of, you will see a meteoric fall in the expenditures associated with operations or energy usage. You go up in sustainability and reduce your footprint.
