How to Extend the Life of NetApp Storage

When the warranty or OEM support period expires, your data center is vulnerable to instabilities caused by equipment issues. So, today, we want to show you how not to get stuck with your NetApp storage and still make a good saving.

The idea is that you know a simple, affordable and equally efficient way to extend the life of your equipment with DC Parts, without having to renew the warranty with the manufacturer or reinvigorate the assets. Follow along.

DC Parts Services to NetApp storage

If a sizable portion of your data center is close to becoming End-Of-Availability (EOA), NetApp will try two things: sell new equipment that comes with an up-to-date warranty, or extend the warranty on what you already have.

However, both options can cause some discomfort to your finances. In fact, as the original support and warranty time is predetermined by the manufacturer, we can say that it is also a strategic element.

With DC Parts, you save precisely on this issue of warranty and support for NetApp storage . See the services available:

Support

You don’t have to exchange your assets, nor pay more to maintain their collateral. With our support, you extend the life of your NetApp equipment at a much lower cost.

Residual value of the asset

We have a cost-neutral solution: do you know the residual value of your NetApp storage? It is not what we consider when establishing the value of the contract. Our business model does not depend on the OEM, that is, it would not make sense to be based on the residual value of the equipment.

In addition, you gain the option to customize a contract, regardless of the need for 3, 6, 9 or even 12 months in length.
