Demystifying Commodity and Blade Server TCO–Part One: An Opportunity for Leasing
Wednesday, 19th December 2007
Published by:


RFG believes enterprises should evaluate the cost implications of their commodity and blade server purchasing strategies to optimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) effectively. IT and business executives often assume that keeping servers in production up to or beyond five years helps reduce ownership costs by delaying new capital acquisitions and migration investments. This notion tends to be incorrect, as these expenditures are not the largest cost components beyond year three. A three-year server refresh strategy, as enabled through leasing, offers enterprises the lowest total cost and most flexible financial and technological packaging.
