Server refresh services

Modernise your IT infrastructure with HPE ProLiant

server-refresh-page

Are you facing ageing infrastructure, rising operating costs, tighter security demands and workloads that legacy servers struggle to support?

These are common issues. Research commissioned by HPE shows that outdated hardware increases costs, downtime and security risks, and the average cost of one hour of server downtime can be as high as £74,0001.

On top of that, a single successful cyber attack now costs UK businesses thousands of pounds on average, with a significant cyber attack costing an individual business almost £195,0002 on average.

In partnership with HPE, we provide a smart path to refresh with modern HPE ProLiant Compute, helping you improve performance, strengthen security and build a stronger foundation for future growth.

Modernise your technology with confidence

Modern HPE ProLiant platforms help improve performance, simplify lifecycle management and strengthen firmware-level protection, while creating a more efficient foundation for virtualised, hybrid and edge workloads.

With optional HPE Financial Services, you can also reduce upfront cost, align spend to budget cycles and simplify the retirement of legacy assets through integrated lifecycle planning, secure data sanitisation and sustainable asset upcycling services.

Benefits of our server refresh

A modern server estate can help lower run costs, improve resilience and support a more sustainable operating model. HPE research indicates that timely refresh can cut energy use by up to 40%, while newer platforms may deliver up to 65% lower power consumption and up to 81% lower cooling costs, depending on starting configuration and customer baseline.

Why refresh your technology now? 

Delaying a refresh can quickly become more expensive than taking action. As servers age, you face rising support overhead, increasing exposure to firmware and security vulnerabilities, reduced performance headroom, and growing energy and cooling costs. At the same time, audit expectations, resilience requirements and budget scrutiny are increasing. Refreshing now helps reduce avoidable risk, improves efficiency and gives you a stronger platform to support future change with confidence.

FAQs

What is a server refresh and why is it important?

A server refresh involves replacing or upgrading outdated server hardware to improve performance, security and efficiency. As infrastructure ages, it becomes more costly to maintain, more vulnerable to security risks and less capable of supporting modern workloads.

How do I know if my servers need refreshing?

Common indicators include rising maintenance costs, increasing downtime, slower application performance, limited capacity for new workloads and concern around security vulnerabilities or compliance requirements.

What are the risks of delaying a server refresh?

Delaying can lead to higher operational costs, reduced performance, increased risk of outages and greater exposure to cyber threats. It can also make it harder to support hybrid, cloud or modern application environments.

What happens to our old servers?

We provide secure end-of-life services, including compliant data sanitisation and environmentally responsible disposal or upcycling, helping you meet both security and sustainability requirements.

Can a server refresh support our cloud or hybrid strategy?

Yes. Modern server platforms are designed to integrate with cloud environments and support hybrid infrastructure, giving you greater flexibility to run workloads where it makes most sense.

What support does Wavenet provide during and after the refresh?

We provide end-to-end support, including assessment, design, procurement, deployment, migration and ongoing managed services. We can also support lifecycle management and future optimisation.

How long does a server refresh project typically take?

Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of your environment, but we will define a clear plan upfront to ensure efficient delivery with minimal risk.
