Costs and benefits of hardwarewartung.com

1. costs

Reduce the cost of your IT infrastructure by up to 50 percent by signing a hardware maintenance contract with us. Especially in the server and storage area you can save a lot of maintenance costs.

Most of the companies buy a maintenance contract directly with the manufacturer or one of its partners and are thus bound by their price scale. We are manufacturer independent and therefore not bound to the prices of the vendors.

We manage more than 35 joint logistics centers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. With these we provide all necessary spare parts and replacement equipment for our customers. By bundling our resources with Europes largest stock holders we undercut the market price far and wide.

Since it is unfortunately not possible to calculate all prices online, we would like to show an example (prices may differ from this example for an offer).

HP Care Pack SLA HPE Costs/Month Our Costs/Monat Saving
HP ProLiant DL360 G9 in Warranty NBD 13€ 12,0€ 8%
HP ProLiant DL360 G9 in Warranty 4hour HW response 40€ 25€ 38%
HP ProLiant DL360 G9 post Warranty NBD 58€ 25€ 57%
HP ProLiant DL360 G9 post Warranty 4hour HW response 88€ 35€ 61%

From the example many things can be derived:

  • After the first year, when the warranty expires, the manufacturer’s maintenance costs increase to a double or tripple of the original price.
  • The different service levels have a big influence on the maintenance costs.
  • Our cost efficiency increases with the age of the hardware. This means that the older your hardware is, the lower our prices are.
  • Our cost efficiency increases with the hight of the service level. This means that the higher your requirements regarding availability and service quality are, the better our prices are.

When does third party maintenance make less sense?

Although we can almost always undercut the manufacturer’s maintenance price, for many companies it makes little sense to purchase maintenance from a manufacturer-independent maintenance company as we are. Often it is possible to purchase the maintenance for 1-3 years at a very reasonable price within the framework of negotiations for the purchase of hardware. After the expiration of this initial maintenance contract, however, the costs for the extension increase exponentially. If you want to continue using your hardware, you should switch the maintenance to us and reduce your costs by up to 40%.

Even if the manufacturer discontinues the support for your devices, we can help out and take your End of Life hardware under maintenance. This saves you a little time for a new acquisition and increases your cost efficiency.
