HPE Storage Maintenance — vendor-independent service for 3PAR, Primera, Alletra, Nimble, MSA and StoreOnce
We service HPE storage after factory warranty and after HPE Foundation Care — vendor-independent, with OEM original parts and SLA up to 24×7×4. From EOSL 3PAR 7000 to current Alletra.
Which HPE Storage models we service
HPE Storage has a layered history: 3PAR (acquired 2010), Nimble (2017), Primera (2019), Alletra (2021). Generations often coexist. We service all from EOSL 3PAR 7000 to current Alletra.
Why TPM maintenance instead of HPE Foundation Care / Pointnext
HPE storage maintenance via Pointnext and Foundation Care is above market average. For EOSL 3PAR 7000/8000 generations, HPE has effectively discontinued renewal. We are the economic alternative.
We service all platforms with OEM parts. InfoSight (cloud analytics) remains limited — cloud telemetry requires active HPE contract. Customers not using cloud features actively redirect the Foundation Care budget to TPM.
Generations timeline & TPM coverage
Per hardware generation: vendor phase (slate) and TechCare coverage window (teal) up to ~5 years post-OEM EOSL.

EOSL status of major generations
Once the vendor ends official support, renewals become unavailable or disproportionately expensive. TPM closes exactly this gap — same hardware coverage, same SLA, significantly cheaper.
