Data Center Managers Have a New Resource to Reduce IT Costs, Delay Hardware Purchases

CLEVELAND, Aug. 4 -- Park Place Technologies, North America's premier provider of data center hardware maintenance, has released a new resource for data center managers seeking to maximize or extend the value of hardware systems. The whitepaper, titled "Maximize the Value of Data Center Hardware Maintenance" identifies four types of business value that third-party hardware maintenance supports: cost reduction, cost avoidance, business agility and risk reduction. When compared to OEM services, third party maintenance (TPM) services can reduce IT costs by 30-60 percent. By delaying capital expenses and minimizing downtime, data center managers can avoid incurring unnecessary costs.
