Lower Total Cost Of Ownership Research Articles

Server consolidation using performance modeling

Server consolidation is crucial to improving a corporation's bottom line by providing savings in hardware, software, maintenance, facility, and labor costs. In today's cost-cutting environment, consolidation efforts can provide significant savings in IT expenditures. Overall potential consolidation benefits include: lower total cost of ownership, improved service levels and availability, and reduced business risks, resulting from consistent business management and resiliency. To fully realize consolidation benefits, businesses must focus on the performance and service levels provided to users in addition to reducing unused capacity. We present a new way to analyze consolidation alternatives using performance modeling and stepwise refinement, a methodology for efficient and effective modeling.

The Least Whole Life Costs of Progressive Cavity Pumps in the Coating Kitchen

The principles of designing a progressive cavity pump that will give the lowest total cost of ownership. the “Least Whole Life Cost”, are described and discussed. A balance between initial capital cost and subsequent operating costs will result in the most economical solution.The factors influencing the maintenance and operating costs over the typically 20-year life of the pump include power consumption and component wear. The mechanisms of wear and the conclusions drawn from 10 years of a scientific research program are summarised.The Mono Pump that offers the lowest Least Whole Life Cost is described, and actual site experience is quoted to illustrate the successful application of the theory.

Trends in progressing cavity pumping

Satisfying customers' needs for effective fluids handling solutions requires a balanced offering of product innovations and value-added service support programs. Moyno Industrial Products uses a package of advanced products and support programs to optimize the end user's process efficiency and productivity, extend pump life and provide low total cost of ownership.
