A Faster Refresh Cycle will Help you Win!

Forrester research shows the Connection Between Modern Server Infrastructure and Business Agility.

Key Findings:

Servers are not being refreshed quickly enough. On average, 40% of server hardware deployed at company data centers is more than three years old. Companies are adding capacity to support emerging workloads, but they retain aging hardware for four years on average, which is longer than ideal.

The consequence is a lack of agility and unmet business needs. Aging infrastructure and limited progress on SDDC technology adoption are hindering IT organizations from meeting business needs.

Modern servers deliver important business and technical benefits. Many companies are reaping benefits from adopting modern servers. Technical benefits include greater reliability, performance, speed, and scalability.

40% of servers in an average company’s data center are more than three years old

Distribution of server ages:

Older servers limit virtualization and containerization capabilities, hindering a firm’s business agility.
