Looking to incorporate Independent Data Centre Maintenance into your business? Need to fill a gap? Is your business unique in its needs and requires an outside the box solution? Or do you simply want to gain some freedom from the manufacturer contracts?

Cantel’s Data Centre Maintenance utilises decades of experience from both our engineering and deployment teams to bring a 2021 approach to your maintenance, giving you the power to leverage where you need it.

It’s no secret that having a Third-Party Maintenance (TPM) provider is going to save you money long term and enables you to scale your business in other areas, but what really are the Pros and Cons of DC Maintenance Services?

So, let’s break it down, what is Independent DC Maintenance?

In short, maintenance provided independently from the OEM’s, often referred to as TPM, it provides contracts for data centre and network equipment, hardware replacement, on-site field engineering, technical support and proactive monitoring.

A common approach is now a hybrid maintenance strategy, coupling OEM-authorised and OEM independent maintenance to bridge the gap. End users are now selectively using TPM’s to access the thriving ecosystem of support to cost effectively extend the life of IT assets, control OEM forced upgrades and of course, save money.

If you haven’t considered Independent DC Maintenance before, now could be the right time to start, as we’ve seen in many businesses the purse strings are tighter in 2021 and saving money is high up there on many business agendas!!

The real benefits of Independent DC Maintenance?

Well, we’ve discussed the obvious benefit of saving money, what else can an independent solution do for your business?

Using Cantel TPM allows the end client to have greater freedom in terms of flexing the usage of their IT infrastructure. Often OEM costs, particularly on storage assets are eye wateringly expensive when the initial warranty period ends, to encourage the end client to move to the latest product release i.e. buy more hardware.

With TPM, we can stretch out the lifecycle of the infrastructure enabling much more return on the initial infrastructure investment. This also allows the end client the freedom to move to different platforms be it on premises or to the Cloud. We can offer a stop gap, covering against all infrastructure before decommission and novation. 

Not only can we maintain your infrastructure we can also help you make that move to a cloud solution with Cantel Cloud, our consultants can help you design, plan and execute your Cloud Strategy with ease.

Feel free to give us a call if you want to discuss your maintenance solutions, we’re always on hand for a quick chat, even if you just need to pick our brains, we like to share!
