Cloud: The Smarter Choice for Temporary IT Infrastructure
At Alwadi, we are constantly exploring smarter ways to deliver technology solutions that are both efficient and cost-effective. Recently, our team faced a challenge that many organizations can relate to: how do you access powerful computing resources for a limited period—without overspending on infrastructure you don’t really need long-term?
The Challenge
We required high-performance computing resources to conduct specialized training on new systems. When comparing the resources we had on-site with what was needed, it became clear that our existing environment wasn’t sufficient.
One option was to purchase new servers and additional licenses. However, this posed two major issues:
– Training only occurs during specific periods, meaning new servers would sit idle most of the time.
– The investment would be high, but the long-term utilization low.
Exploring the Cloud Advantage
Instead of committing to permanent hardware, we turned to cloud infrastructure (IaaS). By building a fully integrated environment on Microsoft Azure with a flexible Pay-As-You-Go model, we ensured that resources were available only when needed.
This setup included:
– Virtual Machines
– Storage Solutions
– Networking
All managed with advanced budget monitoring tools, such as:
– Cost analysis dashboards
– Budget alerts and limits
– Automatic machine shutdowns
– Email notifications for unexpected usage
The Outcome
By leveraging Microsoft Azure, Alwadi achieved exactly what was needed:
– Access to high-performance infrastructure on demand
– Cost savings by avoiding underutilized hardware investments
– Greater flexibility to adapt resources to specific projects and training sessions
