Replacing old technology usually gets plenty of attention. Choosing the new computers, setting them up, transferring data, and getting employees back to work are obvious priorities.

Then there is the old equipment.

Waiting until a computer, server, or network device fails might seem like a way to get the most value from your technology. In reality, running equipment until it can go no further can turn a predictable expense into an urgent problem.

Technology does not last forever, and good IT asset management is not only about knowing what equipment you have. It is also about knowing when you should plan to replace it.

Every piece of technology in your business—from laptops and servers to network devices—goes through a journey called the hardware lifecycle. Understanding this lifecycle helps you manage assets effectively, reduce costs, and avoid unexpected downtime.
