ABSTRACT
This research is geared toward assessing the extent cost of retaining an aging server hardware has affected the transition to current server hardware in a developing country like Nigeria. Primary data were the major source of data for the study. The collected data were subjected to multiple regression analysis. The study found that software update, Random Access Memory (RAM) maintenance, hard disk maintenance and power/ cooling costs have significant cost impact on aging server hardware. Based on these finding, we recommend that Information Technology (IT) Managers should carry out yearly retaining cost analysis of aging IT server infrastructure. Yearly retaining cost analysis will aid IT Managers forecast the most appropriate time to upgrade to newer server models.
