The source notes that "according to customer interviews and essay comments, the high amount of Dell PowerEdge and HP ProLiant system unavailability is attributable mainly to the high proportion (60 percent) of aged Dell PowerEdge and (53 percent) HP ProLiant servers that are over four years old and have not been upgraded or replaced," but that "in those instances where the HP ProLiant , Oracle and Dell PowerEdge servers were a more reasonable two-to-three-and-a-half years old, the percentage of system downtime ... dropped ... on both the Dell PowerEdge and HP ProLiant platforms."
