Are You Due for a Hardware Upgrade?

Are you possibly considering new or updated hardware? Can’t decide if you should commit? CMIT has compiled the top five signs that it’s time to invest in a hardware upgrade.

  • You are frequently troubleshooting your network, which inhibits your company’s productivity. New hardware can definitely result in less downtime.
  • Everything seems to take way longer than they should. This is usually caused when hardware is near capacity.
  • Data starts disappearing. This is usually the case for faulty hard drives that needs replacing.
  • The manufacturer no longer supports the hardware you have. A product’s support cycle usually lasts a few years, and keeping hardware past this timeframe may leave you more vulnerable to attacks.
  • If your equipment is making a lot of noise, this is probably because it has collected dust and debris that stops the fan from working properly.

If you are experiencing some of these problems, give CMIT a call and we can help assess your equipment and collectively decide if it is time for an upgrade!
