Refreshing the hardware can refresh your business
Replacing servers over three years old is essential for all firms looking to cut costs and reduce their carbon emissions, it has been claimed.
According to IT hosting company Memset, the power requirements of basic rackmount servers have halved in the last 18 months, while their performance has doubled, meaning that it makes environmental and economic sense to replace machines after two to three years.
I’ve written a few articles in the past talking about refreshing the hardware could bring benefits not just in terms of reliability as well as environmentally. Do check it out. It’s not just the support costs the (cost of failure etc), it’s the hardware support costs, newer servers will cost less from a hardware vendor to support, they will typically have a newer operating system installed and therefore should have a lower cost of ownership.
