Oracle / Sun StorEdge and StorageTek Maintenance – The Professional Service from Hardwarewartung.com

Sun Microsystems was founded in 1982 and was one of the most important companies in the computer industry. It produced numerous computers and storage systems, primarily for commercial users. These included Sun StorEdge and StorageTek systems. Sun not only developed hardware, but also high-quality software. One example is the Solaris operating system, which is highly efficient. Java technology, which allows platform-independent applications, was also a great success. In 2010, the competitor bought Oracle Sun. However, the new owner continued many of Sun’s successful product lines and sold them under his own name.

Sun has produced a large amount of data storage that is primarily suited to commercial users due to its capacity and performance. These are, on the one hand, disk storage systems, which are characterized by high capacity and security through high availability. Short access times also ensure that the data is available quickly. As a result, these Sun Storage products are great for everyday business applications. Examples of Disk Storage System are Sun StorEdge and ZFS hardware devices. On the other hand, Sun offers tape storage products. These use magnetic tapes instead of hard disks. This type of data storage offers the great advantage that it is extremely cheap in relation to the storage capacity. The disadvantage is that the access times are very high. Therefore, they are always used when large amounts of data are required and the time factor plays a minor role – primarily as backup storage. Often these are large tape libraries consisting of multiple drives and an automated system for feeding the tapes. Sun offers the StorageTek range in this area.

If you use Sun or Oracle Storage products, you will always enjoy a high degree of data security. But even here defects are not excluded. In this case, professional help is necessary because data loss can have huge financial consequences. Many users therefore contact the manufacturer directly if a problem occurs. But that does not always have to be the best solution. Because the primary interest of the manufacturer is the sale of hardware, not the maintenance. You notice this just after the warranty expiration. Maintenance prices double or triple and quality drops. At the latest then it is time to turn to a vendor-independent provider. Take advantage of the services of a company that is fully specialized in storage maintenance. Hardwarewartung.com has been active in this area for 25 years together with its technicians and partners. Our technicians not only have excellent training, but also a lot of experience. That’s why they always know exactly how to quickly and reliably repair your storage environment. Whether you’re using Sun StorEdge, ZFS, StorageTek, or any other data store, they know all of Sun’s systems.

If you contact our manufacturer-independent service for maintenance services, you will benefit from very favourable prices. Compared to hardware maintenance by the manufacturer, you can save considerable costs with us – in many cases up to 50 percent. The services are in no way inferior to the service provided by the manufacturer. This allows you to continue operating your storage systems without incurring high costs.

When it comes to hardware maintenance, fast help is very important to avoid production downtime and other risks. Therefore, our Service Level Agreement (SLA) provide very short repair times for your devices. If you use our online ticket system to contact us, it will take at most 15 minutes for you to receive a reply. After two hours, our technicians can be on site.

The Maintenance of Sun or Oracle storage systems often requires replacement parts. If the suppliers do not have these in stock, this leads to considerable delays. We avoid this problem by having more than 30 own warehouses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Here are all parts always available – 24 hours a day. That is the foundation for being able to guarantee you a quick help. In addition, our logistics department ensures that all required components arrive quickly. Through our own warehouse we can help you even after the End of Life (EoL) of the devices. We refill our inventory in good time, so that we can take over the maintenance even if the manufacturer has already stopped the production of spare parts. We will repair your devices for another 7 to 10 years after the End of Life.

Our hardware maintenance service offers many advantages to your business: fast and competent service, constant availability, low costs and an extensive stock of spare parts – even for older devices. If you convince these arguments, please contact us. We are happy to take care of your data storage from Sun or Oracle.
