When it comes to maintaining your critical IT infrastructure, most companies automatically turn to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for support. But did you know there’s a smarter, more cost-effective alternative? It’s called Independent Maintenance and Support Services, and businesses everywhere are making the switch.
What Are Independent Maintenance and Support Services?
Independent Maintenance and Support Services (IMS) provide hardware support for servers, storage, and networking equipment—without relying on the OEM. Instead, third-party experts like DES Technologies handle your equipment maintenance, repairs, and troubleshooting. These costs of maintaining a data center can add up to around $50,000 to $100,000 per year.
These services cover everything from preventative maintenance to emergency repairs, ensuring your systems stay operational long after the manufacturer’s warranty expires.
Why Choose Independent Maintenance and Support?
1. Cost Savings
One of the biggest advantages is the potential for significant cost savings. OEM contracts are often overpriced, while IMS providers offer the same—if not better—service at a fraction of the cost.
2. Flexible Service Agreements
Unlike rigid OEM contracts, Independent Maintenance and Support Services are customizable. Whether you need 24/7 coverage or just parts replacement, you can choose the level of service that fits your business.
3. Extend the Life of Your Equipment
OEMs tend to push expensive upgrades once a product reaches “End of Life” status. DES, on the other hand, keeps your existing hardware running efficiently, delaying costly capital expenditures.
4. Trusted Expertise
Our team at DES Technologies has decades of experience in maintaining multi-vendor environments. We’re not tied to any brand, meaning our advice and service are truly in your best interest.
