Serious question: how long do you expect cloud hardware vendors to support the servers for their products? 10 years? 20? 30?

liftime of the building it is installed in. if I choose to replace it that is fine but there are still buildings in use 1000 years later, you need to escrow enough to support servers that long just in case.
