Small Business - Hardware Lifecycle Management

Buying, Running and Retiring Tech in a

     We'll then dig into the elephant in the room: today's supply environment. With AI-driven demand competing for chips, CPUs, GPUs, and storage, lead times and prices have become unpredictable, and even basic hardware can be hard to source on a normal timeline. Our goal is a candid peer exchange on practical strategies — how everyone is forecasting refreshes, extending asset life responsibly, navigating shortages, and making purchasing decisions when the market won't cooperate.
