HPE Pointnext becomes prohibitively expensive for aging Gen9 and Gen10 systems. For Gen9 systems, HPE may no longer offer renewal at all. ICD provides the same coverage at a fraction of the cost, with no end date.
End-of-life & end-of-service-life coverage
HPE retires each ProLiant generation and ends support on dates set in its own notices. When your generation reaches end of support, HPE walks away. ICD does not.
Gen6/Gen7Retired by HPE. ICD covers them.
Gen8Retired by HPE. ICD covers them.
Gen9Retired by HPE. ICD covers them.
Gen10Retired by HPE; HPE has published no end-of-support date. ICD covers them now and will continue after.
Your DL360 Gen9 still runs your workloads. There is no technical reason to replace it. ICD keeps it maintained and supported for as long as you need.
Frequently asked questions
Can ICD access HPE firmware updates for my ProLiant servers?
HPE requires an active warranty or support contract for access to certain firmware through their Support Center. ICD provides guidance on firmware management and can assist with updates using publicly available SPP (Service Pack for ProLiant) releases. For servers under ICD maintenance, we ensure your firmware is at a stable, tested revision.
My DL380 Gen9 is EOSL. Can ICD still get parts?
Yes. Gen9 parts are widely available in the secondary market, and ICD supplies a substantial range of Gen9 parts — DDR4 memory, Smart Array P440ar/P840ar controllers, 10K/15K SAS drives, 500W/800W/1400W power supplies, and more. Gen9 is one of the most deployed ProLiant generations, and parts availability remains strong.
How does ICD handle HPE iLO licensing?
HPE iLO licensing (Standard, Advanced, Essentials) is a software license, not a hardware maintenance item. ICD maintenance covers the physical hardware. If you need iLO Advanced features, your existing licenses continue to function. ICD does not provide or require additional iLO licensing.
Can I mix HPE and Dell servers on one ICD contract?
Yes. ICD specializes in multi-vendor environments. You can place your HPE ProLiant, Dell PowerEdge, Lenovo ThinkSystem, and Cisco UCS servers under a single maintenance agreement with a single point of contact and a single invoice.
What is the difference between HPE Foundation Care and ICD Gold?
HPE Foundation Care provides NBD or 4-hour response with HPE parts and labor. ICD Gold provides on-site coverage at a response level set per contract, with OEM-compatible parts and our own engineers — quoted per contract, with a side-by-side comparison against your Pointnext renewal.
