Reduce the costs of running AI on legacy servers

Go Further Faster

AI is driving monumental changes to our everyday lives, enabling us to accomplish more in less time than ever before. But to be able to go further faster, you need to optimize your data centers. Modern AI architecture demands more power, more cooling, and more licenses –

and the costs are getting out of hand. To unlock the power and potential of AI while controlling rising expenses, consolidation is critical. Wildflower can help you achieve AI efficiency and cost control with a 7:1 server consolidation ratio. Contact us today for a free review.

7:1 Consolidation Rate

  • Wildflower delivers secure, compliant infrastructure designed for DoD, DOE, and secure use cases.
  • Server consolidation helps agencies meet OMB and FedRAMP modernization goals.
  • Reduced physical footprint frees up space for critical infrastructure or expansion without new construction.

*Assumptions based on modeled outcomes using industry benchmarks, and recent modernization case studies.

  1. Server consolidation ratio of 7:1 based on modern 2U/4U servers with dense CPU/GPU capacity replacing 5–7 year old legacy servers.
  2. Legacy server power draw: 1,250W with 2.0x HVAC overhead. Newer HCI systems: 500W/server with 1.2x HVAC overhead. Power cost: $0.12/kWh.
  3. AI model training time reduced from ~7 hours to ~1.5 hours per model based on 78% performance gain using GPU-accelerated infrastructure (e.g., NVIDIA A100/H100).
  4. Floor space based on 12 servers per rack, with 75 sq. ft. per rack footprint to include HVAC, walkways, and clearance zones.
  5. Licensing cost estimated at $765 per server, including OS, virtualization, monitoring, and security software.
  6. Estimated floor space is based on an average of 75 sq. ft. per rack (including walkways, HVAC, and maintenance clearance). Raw rack footprint for 392 legacy servers is approximately 198 sq. ft., reduced to 30 sq. ft. after consolidation (a savings of 168 sq. ft., or 84.8%).
