vBlock End Of Life List

An end-of-service-life announcement can spell trouble for IT managers. When vBlock decides it will no longer support its storage, server, or network hardware, IT teams are left scrambling trying to figure out what they can do to deal with the problem without breaking the budget. Park Place Technologies makes it easy to find the latest End of Life (EOL) and End of Service Life (EOSL) information for your vBlock hardware. Allowing you to extend the support cycle and maximize the value of your hardware by saving 30 - 40% against that vBlock contract.

When your vBlock EOL is approaching, don’t come to the mistaken conclusion that a costly overhaul of your hyper-converged infrastructure asset is your only option. Your VCE vBlock leverages some powerful technology like EMC storage, Cisco UCS Blade Servers and a Cisco Networking kit – these components make the equipment expensive to replace when the VCE vBlock end of life arrives.

From a third-party hardware maintenance perspective, Park Place Technologies has been supporting these independent components from a hardware perspective for years. Now, with ParkView Managed Services™, our IT infrastructure managed service offering, we can monitor and support the entire solution similar to how the OEM would.

• If the Dell EMC or Cisco hardware breaks – we will fix it
• If the VMware hypervisor breaks – we will fix it
• Effectively, whatever happens, Park Place is the full stack service provider

Park Place Technologies can even patch your VMware hypervisors when required. You can rest assured that we have your vBlock EOSL equipment covered.
