HPE TPM Storage Support and Maintenance

Third-party maintenance means bringing the maintenance of your HPE data storage equipment to a third-party service provider. The TPM provider assumes the responsibility of making sure that your HPE storage hardware is functioning to their fullest potential and are not at-risk for bogging down. The TPM takes on the role of the original equipment manufacturer but with a faster response time and more efficient replacement cycle. Aside from expertise, one of the primary benefits of working with a third party HPE data storage equipment maintenance company is lower pricing.

When you purchase storage equipment, storage devices, or any hardware for that matter, brand new, it will come with a manufacturer’s maintenance warranty. However, these warranties are bound to expire within three to five years (with some even offering only one year). When the OEM warranty runs out, the typical next step would be for the manufacturer to ask you to extend your warranty or to purchase an upgraded version of your machine brand new.

Technology expires inevitably, but you don’t have to be limited by the choices that your manufacturer provides. TPM providers offer a solution to costly hardware maintenance. By shifting the responsibility to third party maintenance providers, you can extend the useful life or typical equipment life cycle of your hardware without having to purchase a new one. That means you can continue using your existing machines with no downtime or interruptions to operations.

A qualified TPM provider can help keep your equipment in optimal performance well beyond the OEMs declared maintenance warranty coverage. For high-value products like storage hardware, equipment longevity matters.
