Abstract
Systems and methods for evaluating the effective age of an IHS are disclosed. An example method comprises determining an operational age of the IHS. The method further includes determining a workload factor representing an intensity level for workloads run on the IHS, determining a maintenance factor representing currency of firmware and driver updates for the IHS, determining a history factor representing issues observed as impacting the IHS, impacting hardware on similar IHS models, or impacting software on the IHS, and determining a support factor representing currency of warranties for the IHS and related hardware. The method then calculates a real age of the IHS based upon the operational age, the workload factor, the maintenance factor, the history factor, and the support factor. The method further comprises calculating a performant age of the IHS based upon a refresh cycle duration and the real age.
