Server refresh definition
Server refresh really just means replacing older servers with new ones. Because of the rapid evolution of processor technology, server performance and efficiency tend to double approximately every 18 months. Servers tend to use power continuously because they operate 24/7 so their life cycle carbon impacts are heavily dominated by the use phase. As a result, it is environmental good practice to replace older servers with new ones on a regular basis. This runs contrary to perceived wisdom that assets should be sweated as long as possible.
