Description
Protect your Hewlett Packard Enterprise investments with a robust, enterprise-grade service plan that keeps your IT infrastructure resilient and productive. The HPE Foundation Care Call-To-Repair Extended Warranty delivers comprehensive hardware and software support designed to minimize downtime, maximize uptime, and simplify long-term budgeting for IT operations. This four-year coverage goes beyond standard manufacturer warranties by pairing rapid remote diagnostics with guaranteed on-site repairs when needed, ensuring your critical systems stay online and your teams stay focused on strategic priorities.
- Comprehensive hardware and software coverage backed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise professional resources. HPE technicians work closely with your IT team to diagnose hardware failures remotely, coordinate third-party product support where applicable, and escalate issues promptly. For eligible hardware, Basic Software Support and Collaborative Call Management for selected non-HPE software may be included, streamlining problem resolution and reducing finger-pointing between vendors. This integrated approach helps minimize fault isolation time and accelerates return to service by leveraging HPE’s knowledge base, tools, and global support network.
- Rapid response with a defined service level that prioritizes critical systems. The program includes a 6-hour Parts and Labor service response for issues that require on-site intervention, with a stated distance limitation of 80 kilometers from the customer site. This means your most urgent hardware problems are addressed quickly, often without the need for delays caused by travel, and field engineers can be dispatched to your location to perform necessary repairs or part replacements, restoring service as fast as possible.
- End-to-end software support integration. Beyond hardware repair, HPE Foundation Care covers software aspects where eligible, offering remote technical support, access to software updates and patches, and Collaborative Call Management for certain non-HPE software products. This entitles you to a unified support experience—reducing the complexity of managing multiple vendors and ensuring your software stack remains secure, up-to-date, and aligned with your hardware environment.
- Long-term protection with a four-year duration. This extended warranty is designed to bridge the gap between the end of the manufacturer’s warranty and the ongoing needs of growing IT environments. By providing steady coverage over four years, you can forecast operating expenses with confidence, avoid unexpected repair costs, and maintain a stable investment in your data center or enterprise infrastructure. The extended term supports dependable planning for hardware refresh cycles and ongoing service continuity across critical IT assets.
- Efficient service delivery that emphasizes productivity and reliability. The Foundation Care Call-To-Repair program emphasizes parts replacement and labor efficiency to resolve problems quickly. On-site service availability, when required, helps reduce downtime and avoid unnecessary shipping delays. The combination of remote diagnostics, fast on-site response, and guaranteed parts and labor ensures your devices spend less time offline and more time driving business value, with a service model that supports rapid fault isolation, consistent support workflows, and predictable outcomes.
