What is Infrastructure Rationalization?
Infrastructure Rationalization is a comprehensive methodology to evaluate, optimize, and transform your IT infrastructure. It goes beyond simple migration—it's about making strategic decisions for each workload to maximize value.
Using the industry-standard 6R framework, we analyze every application and workload to determine the optimal transformation path: Rehost (lift-and-shift), Replatform (lift-tinker-shift), Refactor (re-architect), Repurchase (replace with SaaS), Retire (decommission), or Retain (keep as-is).
The result? A modern, lean, and optimized infrastructure that reduces costs, improves performance, and enables business agility.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Infrastructure Rationalization?
Infrastructure Rationalization is a strategic approach to optimize your cloud and datacenter footprint by analyzing, categorizing, and right-sizing workloads using the proven 6R framework (Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, Repurchase, Retire, Retain).
How long does the process take?
Discovery and assessment typically take 2-4 weeks. The full rationalization and migration roadmap development takes 6-8 weeks. Execution timelines vary based on complexity but typically span 6-12 months in phases.
What cost savings can we expect?
Most organizations see 35-50% reduction in infrastructure costs through right-sizing, workload optimization, license consolidation, and eliminating redundant systems. Actual savings depend on current state maturity.
Do you support multi-cloud environments?
Yes. We specialize in Azure, AWS, and GCP environments, as well as hybrid cloud and on-premises datacenters. Our approach is cloud-agnostic and focuses on optimal placement for each workload.
