Unlock continuous business momentum with HPE Pointnext Tech Care. This post-warranty, 2-year extension of HPE Tech Care offers proactive operational support designed to keep your IT environment running smoothly, so your team can focus on strategic initiatives rather than firefighting. Built for reliability, HPE Tech Care Basic goes beyond traditional break/fix models by providing access to product-specific specialists, proactive guidance, and multi-channel support that helps you minimize risk, optimize performance, and maximize the value of your hardware and software investments. Whether you’re managing data centers, edge deployments, or hybrid IT, this extended coverage is engineered to deliver peace of mind through dependable assistance when you need it most.

• Proactive, specialist-led support — HPE Tech Care Basic connects you with product-specific experts who understand the nuances of your hardware and software. This isn’t just reactive troubleshooting; it’s a consultative support experience designed to help you identify optimization opportunities, foresee potential issues, and implement best practices that enhance reliability and efficiency over time. By leveraging knowledge from HPE’s extensive product portfolio, you gain insights that can reduce risk across your entire technology stack.

  With access to specialists who know your devices inside and out, you’ll experience faster issue resolution and more informed guidance on configuration, performance tuning, and lifecycle management. This translates to fewer unplanned outages and more consistent uptime for critical workloads, enabling your business to stay on course even as demands evolve.

• Multi-channel, convenient access — HPE Tech Care Basic provides multiple avenues to connect with support, ensuring you can get help when and how you prefer. Telephone access offers real-time support from trained technicians, while automated incident logging helps capture issues efficiently for faster triage. Real-time chat, alongside moderated forums with defined response times, creates a responsive ecosystem that fits diverse workflows and time zones.

  Whether you’re at the data center, remote site, or working from a corporate office, you can start a conversation, log an incident, or pursue self-help resources. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain momentum on IT initiatives and resolve incidents without waiting for traditional support channels to align. The result is a smoother user experience for IT teams and a more predictable path to issue closure.

• On-site and remote service options — To minimize downtime and protect service levels, HPE Tech Care Basic combines remote diagnostics with on-site support where appropriate. If an issue requires hands-on attention, qualified technicians can be dispatched to your location to perform preventive maintenance, component replacements, or complex repairs. This blended approach helps reduce unplanned downtime and accelerates recovery for mission-critical systems.

  The on-site option is particularly valuable for environments with strict uptime requirements, regulatory considerations, or limited remote access. By aligning service delivery with your operational realities, HPE Tech Care Basic helps keep essential workloads online and performing optimally, even during hardware refresh cycles or infrastructure upgrades.

• Comprehensive coverage for extended peace of mind — This 2-year post-warranty service duration is designed to extend the value of your existing HPE investments. It provides dependable coverage beyond your standard warranty window, reinforcing confidence in your IT strategy as your hardware ages. The program emphasizes reliability, predictable budgeting, and consistent support quality across your installed base.

  In addition to the core support, you gain access to best-practice guidance that helps you keep firmware up to date, optimize configurations for performance and energy efficiency, and implement standard security and compliance measures. The result is a more resilient environment that can better absorb growth, peak usage periods, and evolving workloads without sacrificing stability.

• Clear value proposition for IT efficiency and business outcomes — HPE Tech Care Basic is designed to help IT departments reduce risk, shorten resolution times, and maintain high service levels with less manual effort. By combining proactive guidance, multi-channel access, and on-site capabilities, it supports a proactive operations model that aligns with modern IT practices such as ITIL-aligned incident management, proactive device health monitoring, and streamlined problem management.

  Customers often experience fewer escalations, improved uptime, and a more predictable total cost of ownership as a result. This translates to better support for business initiatives, smoother project execution, and more time for IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than firefighting day-to-day incidents.
