Third-Party IT Maintenance That Outperforms OEM Support
Extend hardware life and reduce support costs by up to 70% with enterprise-grade coverage for servers, storage, and network infrastructure—backed by fast parts logistics and responsive engineers.
Why businesses switch from OEM to third-party maintenance
- Lower cost: Save substantially versus OEM contracts without sacrificing uptime.
- Flexible SLAs: Choose 24×7×4, 8×5 NBD, or a hybrid model aligned to your risk profile.
- EOSL coverage: Keep proven hardware in production with expert support beyond OEM end-of-service.
- Fast response: Direct engineer access, rapid triage, and expedited parts logistics.
- Predictable budgeting: Fixed, transparent pricing across sites and assets.

Flexible plans & SLAs
Choose a plan to match each site, asset, and uptime requirement. Mix tiers across your fleet.
| Plan | Coverage | SLA | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8×5 / NBD | Business hours, next business day onsite | 8×5 | Help desk, remote diagnostics, advance parts, onsite engineer |
| 24×7×4 | Round-the-clock coverage | 4-hour onsite response | Priority dispatch, expedited parts, continuous support |
| Custom / Hybrid | Blend tiers by asset/site | As required | Optional add-ons (parts-only, software triage, reporting, more) |
Break/Fix: Not on a contract? We’ll fix it—then enroll it.
Need an urgent repair on gear that isn’t covered yet? Our Break/Fix service delivers rapid, one-time repair by the same engineers and parts logistics that power XTEKPROTECT. After resolution, we can immediately enroll the asset into a right-sized contract.
Servers, storage, and networking across Dell, HPE, IBM, Cisco, NetApp, and more.
Time & materials or fixed diagnostic. Convert to contract within 30 days and we’ll credit the diagnostic toward your first-year coverage.
Once fixed, choose your SLA (24×7×4, 8×5 NBD, or hybrid). Prorated coverage available.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is third-party maintenance different from OEM support?
Third-party maintenance provides multi-vendor coverage, flexible SLAs, and cost control—especially for mixed environments and older gear—without forcing refresh cycles.
Can you support EOSL / legacy systems?
Yes. We maintain parts strategy and engineering playbooks for stable post-EOSL operation. For model examples, see our EOSL Product List.
Do you offer Break/Fix if I’m not on a contract?
Yes. We can resolve one-time issues and then enroll the asset into an XTEKPROTECT plan. Conversions within 30 days can receive credit toward coverage (where applicable).
What SLAs do you offer?
Common tiers include 24×7×4 onsite response and 8×5 NBD, plus hybrid models by site/asset criticality.
Do I have to return failed parts?
Our standard model includes advance replacement workflows; return requirements vary by asset type and contract terms.
