In today’s competitive business landscape, maximizing the lifespan of your hardware investments is crucial to minimizing costs and staying ahead of the curve. Unfortunately, many OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) designate end-of-life (EOL) or end-of-service-life (EOSL) dates for their products, pushing customers toward costly upgrades. However, this equipment often still performs the necessary tasks, making the push for upgrades seem unnecessary and costly.
The OEM Upgrade Dilemma
OEMs often use EOL and EOSL as a strategy to force customers to upgrade to newer models, generating more revenue for the OEM but adding unnecessary expenses for the customer. Many businesses find themselves in a dilemma where their equipment is still functioning well, but the OEM’s recommendation to upgrade leaves them with a difficult choice: incur the cost of upgrading or risk operating unsupported equipment.
UniCare’s Solution: Extending Equipment Lifecycles
UniCare’s third-party hardware support offers a solution to this dilemma by extending the lifecycle of equipment beyond the OEM’s EOL and EOSL dates. Our expert maintenance and support services ensure that your equipment continues to perform reliably and efficiently, allowing you to maximize the value of your hardware investments.
Benefits of Extending Equipment Lifecycles:
- Lower CAPEX: By extending the life of your equipment, you can significantly reduce your capital expenditures (CAPEX) by avoiding costly upgrades to new models.
- Cost Savings: UniCare’s third-party support is a cost-effective alternative to OEM maintenance contracts, providing you with expert support at a fraction of the cost.
- Minimized Disruption: Extending the life of your equipment means less disruption to your business operations, as you can avoid the downtime associated with upgrading to new models.
- Environmental Sustainability: By extending the life of your equipment, you can reduce electronic waste and contribute to a more sustainable environment.
Customer Success Story:
One example of how UniCare saves our customers money is our support for an EOSL EMC storage system at Children’s Hospital. By choosing UniCare third-party hardware support, the hospital has been able to avoid a multi-million dollar upgrade of its object storage system. UniCare support provides 24×7 support on this critical infrastructure at a fraction of the contract cost from Dell/EMC. Unity Systems can help organizations save money and continue using equipment that is still functional despite being considered ‘obsolete’ by the OEM.
