Still paying a premium to keep your HPE servers, storage, or networking gear under OEM support? You’re not alone—but you might be overpaying for peace of mind you’re not actually getting.
Here’s why third-party support is a smarter option for your HPE infrastructure:
Better Support for HP ProLiant, HPE Networking & Aruba and More
Whether you’re running HP ProLiant, HPE Networking & Aruba, or still relying on aging HPE Storage —third-party providers specialize in exactly these systems. That means parts on hand, expert-level engineers, and deep system familiarity—often more than what you'd get through standard HPE channels.
Massive Cost Savings
Third-Party Maintenance typically cuts your HPE support costs by 40–70%, with no drop in service quality. That’s a big win for stretched IT budgets trying to delay capital refresh cycles.
Post-EOSL (End of Service Life) Doesn’t Mean End of Use
HPE may stop supporting your hardware after a certain date, but that doesn’t mean it stops working. TPM keeps your fully functional systems alive and supported years beyond HPE’s EOSL timelines—on your schedule, not theirs.
Global Parts Availability
No more waiting on HPE’s logistics delays. Third-party support providers stock tested, HPE-certified parts across major data center regions, ensuring quick replacements without supply chain headaches.
Customized SLAs & Coverage
Get exactly what you need—on-site, next-day, or 4-hour response times. TPM offers SLA flexibility HPE doesn’t, and support that’s tailored to your business priorities.
Bottom line: Third-party support puts you back in control of your HPE hardware lifecycle—reducing spend, extending system value, and increasing support responsiveness.
Still paying OEM prices for aging HPE gear? Let’s fix that.
