I'm virtualizing a water treatment plant. While the IT hardware cycle is 3-5 years, to my mind that's really not practical for this kind of installation. So I'm looking for longer term hardware. Stratus FTServer is the only hardware I'm currently aware of that has a longer lifespan of 8-10 years.
Anyone with any experience with these? Or any alternatives.
The Dell VxRail system that replaced the M3000 and VRTX that a different plant has is so expensive for something that will enter EOL in 3 years. Sure you can buy more support but...
I appreciate candor, If all that works now is a 3-5 year hardware cycle for a plant that is not data driven, feel free to tell me I'm a boomer and get with the times.
