HPE Nimble FAQ

What is included in your HPE Nimble support contract?2023-12-21T17:12:47-06:00

Top Gun provides the same support you would expect from HPE. Also, because we can give an utterly dedicated support team for Nimble clients, we usually resolve issues before HPE has a chance even to see them.

We’re committed to bringing you the best the industry has to offer without the OEM markup. Enjoy 24/7/365 availability from a dedicated support team, on-site spares, direct storage support contact number, and guaranteed parts replacement, we’ll ensure your Nimble support experience is superior to that of the OEM.

Will I be giving up quality by switching to third party support?2023-12-21T17:12:32-06:00

We consider your IT infrastructure to be a valuable asset. The cost of downtime versus a potentially service level agreement is a common topic among organizations that might consider outsourcing to third party providers. However, we feel confident that our partnership contributes to the overall profitability of your assets.

At Top Gun, our sole focus is supporting the backend operations of the data center industry. Whether you’ve got a significant data center facility or a handful of racks, our engineers are committed to using technology to improve operations. That means we have almost-unrivaled expertise when it comes to keeping your system running smoothly and efficiently.

When is the right time to transition to Nimble third party support?2023-12-21T17:12:15-06:00

We have a team of seasoned consulting experts who will discuss all your IT needs and work closely with you to develop a customized action plan. With 40+ years of experience, we know that no two businesses are alike, so we don’t employ cookie-cutter solutions. We recommend that you begin researching options for extended support at least eight months before your current contract expires. Many organizations find this sufficient time to explore alternatives and transition support.

How are you able to support Nimble Arrays longer than HPE?2023-12-21T17:12:59-06:00

Manufacturers are in business to sell the latest technology. If they price extended warranties high enough, clients are incentivized to buy new instead of either repair or extend. And if that doesn’t push clients into new hardware, they’ll announce that the hardware has reached the end of its life.

We don’t care about market demand for this product. We also don’t have any new technology to promote. Most importantly, Nimble Storage arrays can be used for years after HPE recommends replacing them. Our team has all the same capabilities as HPE. With our expertise and ability to provide continued support 5-10 years beyond the withdrawal date, we can provide peace of mind that your hardware will be effectively supported.

Let’s talk mission critical support.

As a Top Gun client, you’ll notice a superior level of commitment and personalized support – day or night – from the most experienced technical engineering team in the industry.

Proven. Trusted. Reliable.
