Servers are the backbone of modern IT infrastructure. They support the computational requirements of the entire application portfolio of a midsize organization. However, their life span is finite. A new generation of servers performs much better than its predecessors. Still, is this outperformance worth it?

As businesses digitize themselves, seek long-term resiliency for their current business models, and explore new revenue-generation opportunities, server infrastructure shifts from a cost to an asset.

This white paper discusses the findings of a study commissioned by Dell Technologies and Intel. The study sought to determine the quantitative and qualitative impact of timely and delayed server infrastructure refreshes in midsize and enterprise organizations.
