Immediate Ways to Cut Costs in the Data Center

Operating in a new reality. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations are managing complex challenges including revenue loss, supply chain disruptions, project freezes, remote workforce demands and more. You can ease the stress that these impacts have on your IT budget with our cost-cutting data center strategies. We can help you effectively reduce your OpEx costs, optimize your CapEx spend and improve your cash flow.


Reduce your OpEx Costs

Lower maintenance costs

Spend 30-70% less on support for your server, storage and network equipment with our third-party maintenance (TPM) support. Redirect your savings to cover new high-priority demands in your data center.

Longer equipment life

Extend the life of your working data center hardware for the short or long-term depending on changing business forecasts. Our post-warranty support significantly lowers your maintenance costs to help you secure a better return on your infrastructure investment.

Greater coverage flexibility

Adjust support and terms as needed–easily and at no additional cost. Change support levels or coverage time frames according to your changing circumstances and priorities. You can choose short-term coverage to bridge the gap of refresh.

EOL and EOSL equipment support

Keep your End-of-Life and End-of-Service-Life equipment running in your data center according to your new budget and timing realities. With our third-party maintenance solutions, you have more control of your hardware life cycle and support options so you can focus on more immediate needs.

Optimize your CapEx Spend

Choose an alternative to a costly hardware refresh

Move forward on refreshing or upgrading your data center by saving 30-60% with current generation or recertified hardware options. You can meet both performance and budget demands with our ready-to-go hardware options.

Consolidate or move data center equipment

Count on cost-effective support with our experienced data center relocation planning specialists, movers and engineers. You have the added benefit of our on-site hardware support to quickly resolve any service issues for a successful move.


Improve Cash Flow

Cash or credit options

Use the trade-in value from your decommissioned assets for cash or credit toward pressing IT priorities such as hardware purchases, data center maintenance costs, system moves or relocations.
