Hail Friends, I find myself in the need of a 3rd party source to verify my estimates on lifespans of workstations in my place of employment. I can make educated guesses judging from historical data and stuff I know that is in the pipe. However, I find its always better to be able to refer to something other then my own guess work when dealing with the people in charge of the purse.
So, have any of you come across studies, research, articles or anything really that I can point to and answer the following:
Systems purchased today will, with some degree of variance, have sufficient hardware resources (ram, storage, processor speed, etc) to reasonably run all coming software for the next X years.
Thanks for taking the time to read and doubly so for any help!
