3-5 years looking at the refresh cycle at AWS.
- sigio 10y agoLooking at the stuff I keep in racks at the DC... I try to replace the stuff that's basically from the time that servers didn't do low-power idling, So stuff like dell 1950/2950's. The newer systems like 9th gen HP, and 10+th gen Dell systems are usually quite low-power when idle. Since pricing is mostly based on power-usage (bandwidth being cheap or free), it's just a matter of calculating what the trade-off is between running current hardware vs replacing it. But about 5 years would be the max anyway, simply because getting replacement parts starts getting more difficult.
