> sure the new server is faster than the old one, but you know what's even faster? Dividing the existing workload between both of them. How do you factor reliability into your analysis? I mean, the reason companies ditch their 3yo server is that their service life is nearing it's end, and odds are they will fail in the upcoming year or so. Meanwhile, increased compute capacity means companies can use a single brand new server to replace multiple old ones, not to mention cheaper operational costs.
