Any reasonable car owner knows regular tune-ups are critical to avoiding
unnecessary repairs and breakdowns. In general, a car has minimum core
requirements (oil changes, break inspections, timing-belt replacement
and so on) that the owner must meet regardless of the make or model
to keep it operating in tip-top shape. The same principles apply to data
centers; improper or nonexistent maintenance practices will inevitably
lead to failure and negatively affect the business. Delaying aged-asset
replacement could result in unplanned downtime.
