Your OEM Contract Is Costing You Too Much. Too Much.
DataCenterLifecycle delivers multi-vendor hardware maintenance, certified ITAD, and 24/7 managed services -- under a single contract, at 30-40% less than OEM pricing. Month-to-month terms. No lock-in.
One contract. Every major OEM. Your entire data center.
Why IT Leaders Make the Switch
Built for How Enterprise IT Actually Operates
OEM support models are built to sell hardware. Ours is built to keep your infrastructure running — with the flexibility, coverage, and speed that enterprise environments demand.
One agreement covers every vendor in your data center — one invoice, one support number
Around-the-clock network operations center with proactive incident response
Pre-positioned spare parts for same-day and next-day delivery anywhere
Month-to-month flexibility — stay because the service is excellent, not a contract
The OEM Model Is Designed to Benefit the OEM.
Renewal costs increase every year. You pay more for aging hardware, not less.
30-40% less than OEM. Savings grow as hardware matures.
Multi-year lock-ins. Automatic renewals. Cancellation penalties.
Month-to-month. No lock-in. No auto-renewal. Leave anytime.
Separate contract per vendor. Multiple bills, portals, escalation paths.
One contract covers Dell, HPE, Cisco, IBM, NetApp, and more.
Business-day SLAs standard. Faster response is premium.
4-hour on-site response included. 24/7/365 is the baseline.
OEM declares EOSL, stops support, pushes a hardware refresh.
Full SLA coverage 3-7 years past EOSL. Replace on your timeline.
Parts become "unavailable" after EOSL.
Pre-positioned spare parts. Same-day and next-day shipping.
Six Services. One Partner. Every Phase of the Lifecycle.
From the first rack-and-stack to the final certificate of destruction, DataCenterLifecycle manages every phase of your data center hardware lifecycle.
How It Works
OEM transitions take quarters. Ours takes days. Here is exactly how it works.
Request Your Quote
Tell us what hardware you are running and what vendors you need covered. We respond with a detailed proposal — typically within one business day. No sales pressure, no obligation.
Environment Assessment
Our engineers audit your infrastructure — equipment models, firmware versions, current SLA requirements, and coverage gaps. We design a support plan that maps to your actual operational needs, not a generic tier.
Seamless Transition
We activate coverage, pre-position spare parts at local depots, and assign your dedicated support team. Your existing OEM contract can run in parallel during transition — zero gap in coverage, zero downtime risk.
Ongoing Support
24/7/365 access to L3 engineers, 4-hour on-site response, proactive monitoring if you choose managed services, and quarterly business reviews to optimize your coverage as your environment evolves.
Why IT Leaders Switch from OEM Maintenance
Immediate Cost Reduction
Save 30-40% on your first contract cycle. No waiting for savings to materialize.
One Contract, All Vendors
Replace 5+ separate vendor contracts with a single agreement. One invoice. One support number.
Extend Hardware Life
Full SLA coverage 3-7 years past OEM EOSL. Replace on your schedule, not theirs.
Faster Response Times
4-hour on-site response as standard. OEMs charge extra for what we include.
“We were spending $1.4 million annually across separate Dell, HPE, and Cisco maintenance contracts — three vendors, three billing cycles, three escalation paths. DataCenterLifecycle consolidated everything into a single agreement at $870,000 per year. That put $530K back in our infrastructure budget, and our response times actually improved. The 4-hour on-site SLA has been met every single time in 22 months. ”
“Our OEM renewal came in at $410,000 for aging HPE and NetApp gear they wanted us to replace. DataCenterLifecycle quoted $248,000 for equivalent coverage with faster response times. We extended that hardware three more years and redirected the savings into our cloud migration.”
“We had a critical storage controller failure at 2 AM on a Saturday during peak holiday traffic. DataCenterLifecycle had a technician on-site in under three hours with the replacement part in hand. Our OEM contract would have been next-business-day at best — that would have cost us the entire weekend.”
“Five renewals, five escalation paths, five account reps who all wanted to sell us new hardware instead of maintaining what we had. One contract with DataCenterLifecycle replaced all of it. My team spends time on infrastructure strategy now, not vendor management.”
Certified for Regulated Industries
Healthcare, financial services, government, and hyperscale environments have compliance requirements that generic maintenance providers cannot meet. We hold the certifications these industries demand.
