Frequently Asked Questions

What is Defective Media Retention (DMR) included with this plan?

Defective Media Retention is a feature of this Tech Care Basic offering that enables the retention and management of defective media during service actions. This helps prevent premature disposal or mishandling of failed disks, ensuring better data integrity and control as replacements or corrective steps are carried out by on-site technicians.

What does Next Business Day coverage mean for my environment?

Next Business Day coverage guarantees a service response on the business day following a reported issue, with on-site arrival and assistance within the stated distance (up to 100 miles from your site). This rapid response minimizes downtime for mission-critical Gen10 systems while maintaining predictable service levels and faster restoration of services.

What is included in the 9x5 on-site support window?

The 9x5 on-site support window means that, during regular business hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), on-site technical support is available to address hardware concerns, perform parts replacement, and complete labor for maintenance tasks. This structure provides practical coverage for day-to-day operations and routine maintenance needs.

How long does the service extend for my Gen10 hardware?

The service is an extended three-year program, designed to align with the typical lifecycle of Gen10 infrastructure. It offers ongoing access to on-site support, parts and labor, and the Defective Media Retention feature throughout the contract term to help you plan and budget effectively.

Is distance from site a factor for all service requests?

Distance matters specifically for the Next Business Day response and on-site visits. The standard framework covers on-site assistance within 100 miles of the customer site for timely Next Business Day service. For locations beyond this radius, discuss available options with your HPE representative or partner to determine feasible arrangements and any extended coverage that may apply.

Can this service be extended or renewed after the initial 3 years?

Yes. After the initial three-year term, you can renew or transition to a newer Pointnext service offering based on your hardware lifecycle, support needs, and organizational goals. Renewal options typically align with equipment refresh cycles and can include updated service levels and coverage features.

What if I need a total replacement versus a repair?

The service emphasizes quick remediation through on-site parts and labor, with a focus on minimizing downtime. Depending on the issue and policy, a replacement may be arranged as part of the repair process, or alternative risk-mitigation steps may be recommended by the on-site technician in consultation with HPE support engineers.

How do I contact HPE Pointnext for service requests?

Service requests are typically initiated through your HPE account manager, authorized channel partner, or the HPE Support Center. You’ll provide your contract details, system identifiers, and a description of the issue to initiate a Next Business Day response.
