The growing stream of data that organizations now receive, process, and analyze shows no sign of retreat. In particular, the spread of the Internet of Things (IoT) has led to exponential growth in data governance. The Utility Drive article, “Six Big Data Challenges for the Energy Industry,” states that “Alberto Sangiovani-Vincenelli of the University of California, Berkeley sees a world populated by 7 trillion sensors by 2025.

More than ever, the need for reliable hardware and
availability solutions is an integral part of most organizations' long-term

work to the end.
For example, the average server lifetime is three to five

shares this: "Extending your server's lifespan makes it more vulnerable to
unplanned downtime and data loss."
This means that every three years, companies need to not

their employees have time to do so. More and more companies are looking for
servers that last longer and stay stable. This allows them to free up their IT
resources and focus on expansion.
The Stratus Downtime Prevention Buyer's Guide provides six
questions to ask to avoid unplanned downtime and data loss. Stratus suggests
asking, "Is your solution future-proof and what is the lifetime value of
the investment?" when implementing solutions such as server hardware.
