Outdated systems with cores dating back 10-15 years are still prevalent in the market. These systems often feature antiquated interfaces reminiscent of the 90s. Emerging systems target 64-bit systems and newer, employing bulky frameworks and frequently exhibiting instability during continuous 24/7 operation.
