Additionally, the plug-in attributes of system components today make replacement parts easier than ever to immediately 'hot swap' - meaning no system downtime if the replacement part is on-hand. This white paper provides a first-hand look at the significant time and cost savings associated with creating an on-site First Aid Kit.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 3, 2007 -- Abacus Solutions, a leading multi-platform provider of IT infrastructure products and services, released a new white paper "Reducing Hardware Maintenance Costs: The First Aid Kit Option." The report examines IT maintenance cost trends and offers solutions on how companies are leveraging refurbished servers and OEM spare parts to control their IT budgets.

"The high cost of maintenance as a total percentage of the IT budget has led to increased scrutiny, particularly as the cost of refurbished servers and OEM equipment has declined," said Patrick Hiller, CEO of Abacus Solutions. "Additionally, the plug-in attributes of system components today make replacement parts easier than ever to immediately 'hot swap' - meaning no system downtime if the replacement part is on-hand. This white paper provides a first-hand look at the significant time and cost savings associated with creating an on-site First Aid Kit."

The free report, available in the White Papers Library at abacusllc.com, provides an in-depth look at the trends driving reassessment of service and how building a first aid kit for sick systems saves companies anywhere from 45% to 85% annually on maintenance costs without impairing system dependability. Additionally, by extending the useful life of existing systems, companies reduce overall acquisition, training and upgrade costs.
