IDC Research On Datacenter Asset Lifecycle Management

Putting into place a proactive datacenter asset life-cycle management protocol can reduce datacenter costs, increase the ability to respond to new business needs faster, and mitigate risk and downtime. IDC Research indicates the costs associated with extending the life cycle of servers beyond three years are higher than the costs to refresh. Refreshing older equipment can reduce spending on maintenance and service agreements, reduce spending on power, decrease the amount of space required for processing, eliminate high lease extension rates, and/or capture depreciation advantages.

Beyond the financial benefits, the proactive management of datacenter infrastructure can improve performance and agility, limit exposure and risk because of downtime, increase visibility to comply with regulatory and compliance audits, and rightsize the datacenter based on actual consumption metrics for overall efficiency. This IDC webinar quantifies the wide range of benefits realized through proactive datacenter asset life-cycle management.
