Third-party maintenance (TPM) is hardware support provided by an independent service provider such as Epoka instead of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
TPM services help organizations maintain enterprise servers, storage systems, and networking equipment after warranties expire or when manufacturer support ends.
This allows your business to extend infrastructure lifecycles while maintaining reliable technical support.
Organizations use third-party maintenance to extend the lifespan of enterprise hardware, reduce maintenance costs, and support multi-vendor environments.
TPM services allow companies to maintain stable infrastructure without being forced into hardware refresh cycles or expensive manufacturer support contracts.
Third-party maintenance providers typically support a wide range of enterprise hardware, including servers, storage systems, and networking equipment.
This often includes platforms from major vendors such as Dell, HPE, IBM, Cisco, NetApp, and Lenovo.
Multi-vendor support allows you to consolidate maintenance services under one provider.
Yes. One of the primary benefits of third-party maintenance is supporting hardware after the manufacturer stops providing support.
TPM providers maintain spare-parts inventories and engineering expertise to continue servicing enterprise infrastructure beyond OEM End-of-Service Life (EOSL).
In many cases, third-party maintenance can reduce hardware support costs compared with traditional OEM maintenance contracts.
Epoka focuses on maintaining existing infrastructure rather than encouraging hardware refresh cycles, which can help you optimize maintenance budgets while maintaining reliable support.
OEM support is provided directly by the original manufacturer, while third-party maintenance is delivered by Epoka as an independent service provider.
TPM services often offer more flexible contracts, multi-vendor support, and extended lifecycle options compared with traditional manufacturer support models.
At Epoka we offer flexible Service Level Agreements (SLAs) tailored to your needs.
Common options include 24/7 support with four-hour response times, next-business-day service, and business-hours support.
SLA options allows you to select support levels based on the criticality of their infrastructure.
We offer flexible Service Level Agreements (SLAs) tailored to your business requirements.
Common options include 24/7 support, 24x7x4 response times, and 9x5 next-business-day service.
These SLAs define response times, on-site support availability, and parts replacement commitments, ensuring organizations maintain uptime and operational stability for critical infrastructure.
Yes. Third-party maintenance is also used to support multi-vendor infrastructure environments.
If you are running servers, storage systems, and network equipment from different manufacturers we can consolidate support under a single TPM contract, simplifying maintenance management.
