I think before you spend a single dime, you should ask, what problem are you trying to solve, and is replacing your old servers the best way to go. 4-5 years is not uncommon, but it really depends on what functions are you trying to address. Your IT company may be recommending that solution, because it&#39;s probably easier to configure them all at the same time, but &quot;saving money&quot; is also relative. What kind of servers and apps are you running?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/98057.aspxMon, 13 Apr 2009 15:43:44 GMTcaa7681b-025a-49ce-809f-7435bfe4d232:98057Anonymous0http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/thread/98057.aspxhttp://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=17&PostID=98057<p>I have a question it is regarding the replacement of servers. how often should a small business replace their servers? we have had one of our servers for 4 -5 years and the other two we have had 3 years now. Our IT company told us to replace all three to save money, but the only thing is we are a nonprofit and we don&#39;t have the money to replace our servers. What should we do?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
