FAQ
IBM Support FAQs
Want quick answers to your queries? Here is everything you need to know about our IBM maintenance, SLAs, coverage, and onboarding.

Yes. We focus on providing IBM Power Systems and storage maintenance long after the OEM considers them to have reached EOSL (End of Service Life).
What SLAs are available?
We offer three main SLAs: 24x7x4 (4-hour onsite response), 8x5 NBD (Next Business Day response), and custom hybrid coverage tailored to your environment.
What do you need for pricing?
Just send us your IBM hardware model list or serial numbers, and we'll analyze the configuration to provide an accurate maintenance quote.
How much can I save compared to IBM direct support?
Organizations typically save 40% to 70% compared to direct IBM support or traditional post-warranty contracts.
What kind of support can I expect for my IBM hardware after EOSL?
You get access to Level 3 engineers, custom sparing programs, and fast response times without being forced to upgrade your stable hardware.
Can you support multi-site IBM deployments?
Yes, we provide nationwide support and dispatch coordination across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean under a single, unified agreement.
