How do you save money in a down economy?
My colleague, Ariel Jalali, an expert in open source application development, and I have collaborated to bring together 7 ideas for reducing capital expeditures in a slow economy by making smart use of the right technologies.
In the paper we discuss in detail the following points:
- Replacing dark fiber with point to point wireless or metro Ethernet
- Unwiring your office to save big
- Transitioning from Proprietary network equipment
- Implementing Virtualization
- Look into refurbished or used/pre-owned equipment
- Explore cloud computing
- Use open source software
