First of all happy holidays to all!!! =20

We are in the need of upgrading some of our core infrastructure and are
starting to rice it out. I was wondering if most schools own their own
equipment or lease. Traditionally we own and then have core equipment
in place until EOL or sometimes even longer. I would like to refresh
more often and even though, I think over time the cost would be more to
lease, it would be easier to stay up to date because we wouldn't need to
find huge initial costs. As an example we need to update/replace our
core switches, firewalls and SAN/virtual infrastructure.

Thanks for your thoughts!
