Finance Leaders

The numbers behind the infrastructure decision.

For CFOs, controllers and FP&A leaders asked to approve AI or HPC spending. We build the three-to-five-year case for each option, in the form your board and your lender will read.

Drawing: cost over utilization A chart of cost per productive GPU-hour against utilization. The on-prem cost line falls as utilization rises. The cloud line stays flat. The point where they cross is marked: below it the cloud costs less, above it owning costs less. Summit Logic Cost over utilization Dwg SL-0016 Sheet 1 of 1 Rev A Illustrative Cost per productive GPU-hour Utilization 1 On-prem Fixed cost, spread over more hours as use rises 2 Cloud Paid by the hour, flat at any use 3 Crossover Cloud costs less Owning costs less
the problem

IT wants capital. The cloud bill moves every month.

The request arrives as a number and a deadline. Server and facility depreciation rarely match the loan or the budget cycle, the cloud alternative is priced by the hour, and the comparison you are shown was usually built by someone selling one side of it.

  • A capital request with no utilization assumption behind it
  • A cloud estimate that assumes today's volume forever
  • GPU servers and facility equipment depreciated as if they were the same asset
what we do

What we do for a finance team

  1. Technical Financial Models

    Three-to-five-year TCO

    Every placement option costed on productive utilization rather than nameplate capacity, including the people to run it.

  2. Technical Financial Models

    Depreciation and debt capacity

    GPU servers and facility equipment on separate depreciation curves, set against the loan and the budget cycle.

  3. Technical Financial Models

    Buy, lease or cloud

    The structures compared side by side, with what each one does to cash, earnings and covenants.

  4. Datacenter Infrastructure

    Financing if you buy

    Financing arranged with third-party lenders, with the package built to answer the questions their credit team will ask.

  5. AI Solutions Architecture

    AI for finance operations

    Close, reporting and receivables work automated inside the systems you already use, with a person approving each step.

Building or expanding a facility?

When the decision is a hall rather than a rack, the Datacenters page covers the one model built for operations and finance: capacity, power and cooling on one side, depreciation, debt and recovery on the other.
