DataCenter Knowledge, Friday, December 5th, 2025
Learn how to extend server lifespan with actionable strategies that reduce costs, enhance sustainability, and improve operational efficiency.
It's easy to recognize why data centers would want to increase server lifespan. It saves money by reducing the frequency of hardware refreshes; it enhances sustainability by minimizing e-waste; and it lightens the workload for overstretched data center technicians, since longer-lived servers translate to less time setting up new machines and decommissioning old ones.
