Independent Oracle Server Maintenance & Sun Microsystems Server Support

Oracle/Sun Microsystems servers generally become available for lower-cost XSi maintenance following warranty expiration, or when the manufacturer provides End-of-Life (EoL) announcements. For these post-warranty Oracle server assets, cost-savings typically run 60-80% lower than OEM pricing, without sacrifice to service quality. Hardware maintenance agreements can be directly purchased by commercial entities or Federal entities via Carahsoft, our federal distributor.

Unlimited access to XSi’s CMDB is provided to all clients with an active MSA.
