Why is having a hardware refresh strategy in place critical for your business?

A hardware refresh isn’t just about replacing old equipment like servers, desktops, or laptops – it’s about strategically upgrading to enhance security and performance.

As technology advances, keeping your hardware up to date is essential to prevent issues like hardware failures, data loss, or costly downtime.

Why it matters:

Risk Reduction: Older devices are more prone to failures, leaving your business exposed to potential disruptions.

Security: Laptops and desktops that are past their prime may no longer receive crucial security updates, making your business vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Cost Efficiency: While the upfront cost of new hardware might seem high, it’s a long-term investment. Newer devices are more energy-efficient and require fewer repairs – saving you money in the long run.

We recommend refreshing your hardware every 5 to 6 years. At around $1,000 per device, that breaks down to about $15/month – far less than the cost of a critical failure!
