Third-party maintenance (TPM) delivers OEM-equivalent hardware support at 40-60% less cost. Instead of paying Dell or HPE for post-warranty support, a TPM provider like ICD delivers the same parts, labor, and response times.
How TPM Works
- Assessment — We audit your hardware inventory
- Custom SLA — Response levels and coverage hours set per contract
- Parts pre-staging — We pre-stage critical parts for your servers
- Support delivery — Our engineers respond within SLA with verified parts
