What Happens When Enterprise GPUs Reach End of Life?
Enterprise GPUs are entering a new phase of their lifecycle. Here's what changes when a single component costs $20,000+, and how organizations are building practical support strategies around it.
Systain® provides 24/7 L2/L3 engineering support for NetApp FAS hybrid, AFF all-flash, E-Series SAN, StorageGRID object storage, and SolidFire, typically 60–80% below NetApp SupportEdge pricing.
From legacy FAS controllers to current-generation AFF all-flash and SolidFire HCI nodes, Systain® covers the full NetApp portfolio.
FAS2000 and FAS8000 series unified hybrid storage: NAS and SAN from a single platform. Controller swaps, drive replacement, and shelf support included.
AFF A-Series all-flash arrays for latency-sensitive workloads. Full hardware maintenance including controller failover, NVMe drive replacement, and shelf support.
E-Series block storage arrays and EF-Series all-flash for high-throughput workloads. Hardware maintenance, controller pair support, and drive tray expansion.
StorageGRID appliance nodes for S3-compatible object storage. Hardware maintenance for SG5000 and SG6000 series appliance nodes.
SolidFire all-flash scale-out nodes and NetApp HCI compute/storage nodes. Hardware maintenance for the physical layer of the storage equipment.
We support a wide range of NetApp hardware beyond what's listed here. Send us your asset list and we'll confirm coverage within one business day.
NetApp SupportEdge rates stay high long after hardware is paid off. Systain® pricing reflects the actual cost of support — not the OEM's margin target.
NBD, 4-hour, and 4-hour onsite SLAs available, aligned to your recovery time objectives, not a standard tier.
Our L2/L3 storage engineers specialize in ONTAP, E-Series, and StorageGRID. You get platform specialists, not generalists.
We stock NetApp-compatible drives, controllers, and shelf components so replacements ship same day without depot wait times.
“Our FAS arrays and E-Series SAN were all past NetApp SupportEdge eligibility. Systain® covered everything and we saved 69% compared to what NetApp had quoted for an extended support option.”

Most enterprise storage environments have a hidden cost problem: paying OEM-level support pricing for archival data nobody has touched in years. Here's how Third-Party Maintenance recovers that budget...
For organizations that have already decided to transition from OEM support to third-party maintenance (TPM), the next practical question is straightforward:
