How can I project server life ?

by andrew cooke . Updated 22 years, 11 months ago

Hi.

I have never posted here before, normally because someone has asked the question before and been given an answer.

This time I don’t know what to search for !!

I have a large computer room containing all compaq servers covering everything you could imagine from F/P to application servers.

We now are paying quite a lot to cover these servers as they are over 3 years old. I have been tasked with:

1) Identify how old the server is.
2) Identify how much in maintanance its costing.
3) Project its lifespan. for example disk space requirements.

I then need to create a server refresh timeline of when I expect its costing us too much money vs buying a new server with warranty.

Does anyone know what this process is called ?
Can anyone point me in the right direction
