Maximizing IT Asset Lifecycles: A Smart Move for Sustainability and Savings

Rapid advancements and the pursuit of cutting-edge capabilities have traditionally meant a short lifespan for IT assets such as servers. That may soon change as major companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Dell rethink their approach to the IT lifecycle. 

‍

By extending the lifecycle of their servers beyond the traditional four to five years, these tech leaders are achieving significant cost savings and promoting sustainability. Sturgeon, a leader in IT asset management, has various services to support organizations as they navigate this emerging trend.

The Business Case for Extended Lifecycles

‍

As tech companies face increasing pressure to meet sustainability goals, extending the life of IT assets becomes a practical and ethical choice.

‍

Amazon recently decided to extend the lifespan of its servers from five to six years. By implementing a robust maintenance and repair program, Amazon expects to save hundreds of millions of dollars while reducing waste and carbon emissions. However, the company’s approach goes beyond squeezing more value from existing hardware; it’s also about being environmentally responsible. 

‍

Microsoft is also following a similar path. In 2022, Microsoft announced plans to increase the lifespan of some of its servers from four to six years. Longer lifecycles allow companies to defer capital expenditures, improve return on investment, and reduce their environmental footprint.
