The average useful life of the server is 5 to 7 years, then it must be replaced. But as a rule, the real situation is far from this. It happens that the production process is controlled by servers that are 7 or more years old. This situation significantly increases the risk of hardware failure, which can provoke unwanted downtime in production processes and associated losses. Typically, such servers are running legacy operating systems that long unsupport by the developer. For example, Windows NT, 2000, 2003, XP. For a number of reasons, these systems cannot be installed on modern servers and workstations. The way out of this situation can be either to install current operating system with the subsequent update of the process control system, or to virtualize server or workstation. The first one requires significant expenses, both time and money. The second, however, allows you to significantly save the budget and safely operate the current system until the planned modernization.
