How Long Do You Expect Your Hardware to Last?

Business owners invest in various computer hardware and networking systems and then forget about them until something goes wrong. Parts breaking down, disasters, and company changes are common reasons why businesses replace their hardware. To avoid major downtime and financial headaches, it’s important to know how long computer hardware and networking systems last.

Networking Infrastructure

There are different types of networking systems. The most common are Local Area Network (LAN) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). A typical LAN infrastructure can last anywhere between 10 and 15 years while a regular WLAN lasts an average of two years. You know it’s time to replace your networking infrastructure when you start experiencing frequent connection problems. Not replacing your networking infrastructure may lead to business process disturbances, especially when you have several devices and servers connected to the network.

Don’t wait for a disaster to strike before you think about replacing your computer hardware and networking systems.
