Where "OLD" means that the hardware in question is older (often much
older) than five years and for which a post-warranty hardware support
agreement may not be available or is unreasonably expensive.

Goal #1 is consolidation.  The goal is to make greater use of virtual
machines hosted on a smaller number of physical machines concentrated at
fewer hosting providers.

Goal #2 is life-cycling.  The goal is to have core infrastructure no
older than 5 years (ideally) and on next business day hardware support
agreements so that inevitable component failures can be addressed
quickly.  We might keep hardware for more than 5 years but will do so
under support agreements.
