How long do you usually try to keep servers online? with my cost of hardware (lower than usual, as far as I can tell, as I build) and my cost of power (higher than usual, as I am in California) and my higher than average cost to downtime, I'm usually looking to retire old servers after about three years, but I don't know if that's the right policy. Do you usually do it based on the ratio of what you are paying for power vs what you pay for a new server? or do you keep a batch of servers online until you start seeing more than a certain amount of failures? a mix of both? _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
