Refreshing servers on an ongoing basis can reduce costs to the datacenter. Rather than put off capital expenditures and extend server life cycles (buy and hold strategy), organizations faced with sharp budget challenges should consider aggressively seeking financial deals that allow them to upgrade their servers with today's technology. Refreshing server infrastructure on pace with newer technology, (e.g., every two years) can reduce a full view of six-year server costs — that is, a view that includes not only acquisition costs but also power and cooling, space, and IT labor costs — by a third, as we see in this paper.
