Dell EqualLogic Maintenance — vendor-independent service for PS series after EOSL
We service Dell EqualLogic PS arrays after Dell EMC Maintenance expiration — and especially after EOSL. EqualLogic was Dell's iSCSI mid-range solution for years and is no longer actively developed. Yet many PS4100, PS6010, PS6210 and PS6610 still run stably in DACH tier-2 storage. OEM original parts on stock, SLA up to 24×7×4. 30 to 60 percent below Dell list, up to 70 percent on EOSL models.
Which EqualLogic generations we service
Dell effectively discontinued EqualLogic in 2017 — successors are PowerStore and Unity XT. The PS series continues to run in many DACH environments as tier-2 storage, backup target or VMware datastore. Exactly the phase where TPM delivers maximum value.
Why TPM maintenance for EqualLogic instead of Dell EMC Maintenance
Dell discontinued active EqualLogic sales in 2017. Dell EMC Maintenance for older EqualLogic models often costs as much as a tier-2 refresh. TPM offers the economical alternative for 2-4 years of bridge maintenance.
We stock OEM original disks (SAS, NL-SAS, SSD), Type-7/9/10/11/12/13/14/15 controller modules, 10GbE SFP+ and power supplies for all PS generations. EqualLogic Group Manager and PS Series Firmware continue to work as part of the hardware configuration.

EOSL status of EqualLogic generations
EqualLogic models have transitioned almost entirely to EOSL. Dell EMC Maintenance is no longer renewable for many generations — TPM is often the only mid-term option.
