There is 5 years from the last ship date that Oracle guarantees to keep parts on hand. They usually can get parts (for a higher cost) far after that date but do not guarantee it.

By 5 years it's usually more Economic at that point to upgrade the HW. Most people usually upgrade every 3-4 years anyway.

Just what I've seen though.

I have been asked to write the justification on getting environment moved from several Windows based database servers (don't laugh ... too hard) to Exadata. The budgeting committee wants me to include the useful life of an Exadata machine in this justification. Does anyone have an idea how to answer that? My answer would be until end of life, but that really does not give the accounting types something to go on. Any data would be appreciated.
