FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Unfiltered intelligence regarding our independent Storage Maintenance operations, aggressive SLAs, and global reach.

How does TPM actually save us money?

We price based on the actual cost of parts and engineering, typically saving you 40% to 70% compared to traditional enterprise data storage solutions.

Is your "4-hour response" guaranteed?

Yes, our 4-hour response SLA is fully guaranteed. Before onboarding, we stage client-specific, tested replacement spares at local logistics depots within 50 miles of your data center.

Can you support equipment that the OEM has labeled "End of Support Life" (EOSL)?

Absolutely. Sourcing and maintaining systems post-EOSL is our core specialty. We help you extend the lifecycle of your storage assets for 3-7 more years.

Will switching to ETS void my existing firmware or software licenses?

No. Sublicenses and existing firmware licenses are perpetual and remain valid. We operate as an independent maintainer, supporting stable code releases without forcing upgrades.

What happens if you don't have a specific part in stock?

We run custom inventory reviews before contract signature. Any required parts are pre-staged locally. For unpredictable failures, our global logistics network ships components overnight.

Can one contract cover different brands like Dell, HPE, and Cisco?

Yes, consolidating multi-vendor server, storage, and networking hardware under a single, unified contract is one of our key advantages.

How do you handle data security during a drive replacement?

We prioritize security. All failed drives are swapped, and under our media retention option, you can retain the failed drive for secure physical destruction.

What is XTEKPROTECT™?

XTEKPROTECT™ is our flagship multi-vendor support SLA framework. It allows you to customize SLA coverage thresholds per asset under a single consolidated contract.

What if I have an immediate failure but no contract?

We offer Time & Material emergency dispatches for active failures on uncovered equipment, and we can quickly transition your assets to an active maintenance contract.
