IT Hardware is the foundation of your overall IT system, yet many businesses lose track of the hardware within their organisation.

PC and Server Hardware typically has a useful life expectancy of around three years.

Although it can sometimes be a prudent policy to run IT hardware for longer, it could also end up costing more than new hardware to maintain.

To use an analogy, we all know that cars can (when looked after) run for up to 30 years , but after a varying number of miles the car can become troublesome, and ends up becoming slow, unreliable, failing to start when you are late for that important meeting.

In the same way as a car, a PC or server has a finite useful life. After a number of years the hardware can start to reduce productivity and become unreliable, before this happens a business should plan for its replacement.

Onsite IT offer a Hardware Review service and will audit all the hardware on your network including

• PC's,
• Servers,
• Firewalls,
• Routers,
• Printers

From this audit we can offer some advice on the current state of your hardware
and prepare a lifecycle document detailing when the hardware should be replaced.
Our review assists you in budgeting for future expenditure and if followed also
ensures your IT Infrastructure is up to the job you are asking of it.
