Server Replacement Options Summary
The Difference between a Server and a Desktop Computer
If you can gain performance benefits and/or cost efficiency by purchasing a new server, of if the likelihood of failure and risk of downtime becomes too great, you'll know it's time to replace your server. While hardware parts can fail at any time, with the higher-quality components used in servers as well as the built-in redundancy for failproof operation, in most cases you can expect your new server to last much longer than six months.
