EMC Isilon Post-EOSL Support Options
Companies usually purchase equipment from OEMs (Original equipment manufacturers), such as Dell EMC. These OEMs want you to upgrade your hardware regularly. After all, this is how they maintain their profit margins, but it only drains your resources.
In all honesty, your Isilon Nodes can probably work for another 5 to 10 years. This is where Third-Party EMC Isilon Support comes in!
The great thing about third-party support is that they relieve not only the challenges regarding procedural support but also financial challenges.
What is EMC Isilon Post-Warranty Support?
Every product has a warranty of its own.
In most cases, the product has a 3-year warranty, after which it is denied any maintenance and support. This is where EMC Isilon Post-Warranty Support comes in!
Post Warranty Support is simply the support provided to your IT asset once its OEM’s warranty has expired. You may be familiar with it as third-party maintenance (TPM).
Advantages of EMC Isilon Third-Party Support
There are many advantages of choosing third-party maintenance for products that have reached their End of Service Life. Besides providing better responsiveness, options more flexible than the OEM’s recommendations, and lower cost, the following are some additional advantages of EMC Third-Party Support:
- Longer Service Life
You need to keep in mind that the OEM telling you to replace your device in just three to five years is optional. With EMC Isilon Post Warranty Support, you can enjoy access to critical technical expertise and strong support for years even after the End of Service Life date has been announced.
- Boosts ROI (Return on Investment)
Investments made on IT hardware can be pretty costly. However, a regular refresh cycle would not allow for the maximum ROI (Return-on-Investment). What third-party support does is boost that ROI by extending the lifespan of your IT equipment.
- Uptime
Proactive hardware monitoring combined with top-notch engineering and spare parts strategically located near client sites, result in a faster mean time to repair. These factors, in turn, translate into more Uptime.
Additionally, Third-Party Support also promises a competent team at your service along with customizable and scalable SLAs (Service Level Agreement). This means you are no longer at the mercy of the OEM!
