Dell PowerVault FAQ

What are the benefits of going with a third party maintenance provider?2023-12-18T21:09:47-06:00

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

What is a third party maintenance provider?2023-12-18T21:08:20-06:00

Third Party Maintenance (TPM) helps extend the life of your assets instead of replacing your hardware post warranty. When the OEM no longer supports its storage, server, or network hardware, TPM companies help clients avoid unnecessary technology refreshes to yield significant economic gain while retaining continuity and consistency across facilities.

How much does third party maintenance cost?2023-12-21T06:36:58-06:00

“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

Can third party maintenance provide software support?2023-12-18T21:14:42-06:00

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.

Why choose Top Gun third party maintenance over OEM maintenance?2023-12-18T21:10:20-06:00

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