Forum CPU & Components : Servers Dell Poweredge 2850 daily power-on-off

Hi all,
I have a Dell Poweredge 2850 that I bought for a small business. I understand that most server machines are meant to run continuously, so was wondeing: would powering the Poweredge down at the end of each day have an adverse effect on the longevity of the machine?

Cheers

how are you utilizing the server and what OS are you running on it.?
