AMC and OEM support renewals, one owner across the estate.

AMC and OEM support renewals for Indian enterprises, across servers, storage, network and security. NetScale consolidates the contracts under one owner and escalates directly into every vendor’s support organisation. Each scope of work is written in plain terms, so procurement can compare it line by line.

What it is

AMC and OEM Support Renewals

An annual maintenance contract (AMC) keeps installed hardware supported after its warranty, covering labour and service.

A comprehensive maintenance contract (CMC) also covers parts. NetScale takes over the AMC and OEM support renewals across servers, storage, network and security, whoever supplied the equipment, and keeps every renewal date in one register.

Questions buyers ask about this.

Can you take over AMCs for equipment bought from other vendors?

Yes. Send us the renewal list and we check it against what is installed, including support status and end-of-support dates. Contracts are then consolidated under one owner, with direct escalation into each OEM’s support organisation. Renewal dates can be aligned over time, so the estate renews on fewer dates.

What happens when hardware reaches end of support?

It depends on what an outage would cost and whether the OEM still supplies parts. Some devices can be extended under contract; others need a refresh plan. The renewal review lists each device with its end-of-support date, so the choice is made device by device, in writing.

What do you need from us to start?

The renewal list: each device with its model, serial number, support contract and end date. We check it against what is installed and send back the support status, renewal date and gaps for each device, in writing.

Send us your renewal list.

It costs nothing and commits you to nothing. You get a written list of where your IT environment is exposed, and your team can act on it with or without us.

  1. The written findings are yours whether we ever work together or not.
  2. Each phase is fixed-scope and signed off separately.
  3. You can stop at any phase boundary.
