IT industry ka ek mashhoor niyam hai: "Agar aap apne IT infrastructure ki regular service ke liye time nahi nikalenge, to aapka hardware kisi din khud sabse galat time par band hokar aapka time aur paisa dono barbad karega."
Preventive IT maintenance ka matlab hota hai ki bimari aane se pehle hi ilaaj karna — yaani computer ke slow hone, hard drive ke fail hone, ya switch ke jalne se pehle hi use diagnose karke theek kar lena.
