The Challenge

Rising OEM renewal costs and mixed response times across global sites. Multiple platforms (Dell, HPE, IBM) required unified logistics, spares, and consistent escalation paths.

  • OEM renewals exceeded budget by 40–70%.
  • Inconsistent time-to-restore across regions.
  • EOSL systems lacked viable OEM coverage options.

The ETS Solution

A single ETS contract (XTEKPROTECT™) covering servers, storage, and networking with local sparing, 24×7 L3 access, and a unified ticketing portal.

  • Global 4-hour onsite & NBD tiers based on site criticality.
  • Regional parts depots with advance sparing for hot sites.
  • Direct-to-L3 diagnostics; no scripted call trees.
Technician servicing equipment

Outcomes

  • 65% reduction in maintenance spend across 3 years.
  • Standardized incident workflow and faster MTTR.
  • EOSL hardware life extended 3–5 years without risk.

“ETS delivered better uptime with a fraction of the cost. The direct Level-3 access and local sparing made the difference.”

FAQs About This Deployment

How did you validate spares coverage across regions?
We staged advance spares in regional depots and at high-priority sites. Fill rates and courier SLAs were verified before cutover.
Can we mix 4-hour and NBD SLAs by location?
Yes. Critical facilities receive 24×7×365 / 4-hour onsite. Peripheral offices use NBD. All in one master agreement.
What data do you need to quote something similar?
Models, serials, quantities, site addresses, and preferred SLAs. We return a tailored proposal within one business day.
