Is your IBM Hardware reaching End of Support? If so, there’s still time to protect your withdrawn equipment with an IBM Hardware Support Extension! 

Blog by Darren Mills, Director of Technology

There are many reasons why you or your customers might keep withdrawn machines operating in a production environment. Purchasing delays, development and test cycles, or lagging migration projects are a few of these reasons. But maintaining and repairing withdrawn equipment on your own can significantly increase a range of operational risks and maintenance costs. Third party providers can be scarce, expensive and may take more time than necessary to get parts or perform repairs. IBM Technology Support Services offers hardware extension support for withdrawn equipment. By using this extension support, you can continue to protect your current hardware investment at a more affordable cost while planning your budget more effectively. No one knows your hardware environment better than IBM.

Keep your IBM equipment productive after withdrawal with an IBM Hardware Support Extension from CleanSlate Technology Group.

  • Continue using existing servers, storage units and other hardware more affordably
  • Gain more time to complete technology upgrades and migrations
  • Acquire additional time for better capital expenditures and budget planning
  • Avoid business delays, lost data, sales revenue declines, compliance challenges and decreased staff productivity
  • Retain shareholder trust, consumer confidence and customer loyalty
