FAQ: IBM Third Party Support
Do you support IBM EOSL systems?
Yes, we routinely cover IBM Power Systems, FlashSystem storage, and networking gear post-EOSL with staged spares and Level-3 engineers.
How does Trifecta differ from OEM IBM support?
Lower cost, faster triage, flexible SLAs, and no forced refresh cycles, plus direct access to experienced engineers committed to extending your asset life.
Do you provide software support with hardware support?
Our focus is break/fix hardware maintenance and parts logistics. We do provide guidance on customer-licensed software when available, but new software updates and proprietary patches from IBM are governed by your existing entitlements.
Do you align with the vSphere Security Configuration Guide?
Typical onboarding is 5–10 business days, depending on your sites and sparing options, with expedited services available.
Switching from OEM to Tri-Net is Easy
We start with your asset list (models & serials), map SLAs by site, stage parts near your facilities, and go live with day-1 readiness checks, often within two weeks.
Why Third-Party IBM Support Matters
OEM hardware support from IBM can be costly after warranties expire. With Tri-Net third-party maintenance, you can keep proven systems in service longer, reduce total cost of ownership, and maintain uptime with high-quality engineer support and flexible SLAs.
