IBM DS8000 Series Enterprise Storage Systems END OF SERVICE LIFE Schedule

Extend the Life of Your IBM Systems with Spectra Technologies Maintenance Plans

As IBM discontinues support for older systems, many businesses face the challenge of maintaining their vital infrastructure.

At Spectra Technologies, we understand the critical role these systems play in your operations. That’s why we offer comprehensive maintenance plans to ensure your systems continue to run smoothly—long after IBM’s End of Service (EOS) date.


Why Maintenance for EOS IBM Systems is Essential

IBM systems like the DS8100, DS8300, DS8700, DS8800, DS8870, and DS8880 have been workhorses for businesses worldwide. However, EOS means no more software updates, hardware replacement parts, or direct manufacturer support. Without a robust maintenance plan, your business risks:

  • Unexpected Downtime: A single failure could cripple critical operations.
  • Higher Repair Costs: Without access to spare parts or support, repairs can become unpredictable and costly.
  • Security Vulnerabilities: Outdated systems are prime targets for cyber threats.

We’ve developed maintenance plans specifically designed to meet the unique needs of EOS IBM systems. Here’s what sets us apart:

  1. Expert Support: Our engineers are IBM specialists with years of experience handling legacy systems. Whether it’s troubleshooting or proactive maintenance, our team ensures your systems perform at peak efficiency.
