STORAGE FAQ

Why choose Top Gun maintenance over OEM maintenance?

The TGT Mission Critical Platform will enable service efficiencies which drive down expense year over year within your environment, yielding significant economic gain while retaining continuity and consistency across your facilities.

As a standard part of our hardware maintenance support, we include remedial software support. Our software support model is best described as Software Break/Fix. The support requires the client has a licensed product and it is functional. Excluded from support are administrative activities like setup or configuration of the software product for the client.

“OEM support spending can be reduced by leveraging a blend of OEM and TPM maintenance together in a hybrid solution,” says Tenneson. “TPM contracts will offer customers an average of 60% savings off OEM support list prices.” Gartner August 2017

At Top Gun, our Mission Critical Support Platform delivers three key business benefits: (1) Improved performance (2) Increased value (3) a better personal and digital experience. Driving down costs and improving performance is not mutually exclusive. Our services drive system availability. Especially in big data environments, where storage and computing availability serve as the backbone of the business.

THE TOP GUN DIFFERENCE.

Powered by ServiceNow, Top Gun Technology provides TPM 2.0™ maintenance services that are uniquely designed to deliver the highest quality of infrastructure support for mission critical operations.
