PowerEdge is the most straightforward platform to move: Dell publishes server firmware and drivers with no entitlement check. Dell EMC storage is a different answer entirely — the builder separates them.
Independent Dell PowerEdge support, on your terms
Dell sells data-centre support through its ProSupport Infrastructure Suite: Basic Hardware Support (next-business-day onsite), ProSupport (next-business-day or 4-hour onsite) and ProSupport Plus (4-hour onsite, with Mission Critical support included). It is comprehensive, but fixed to Dell-defined tiers and renewed per service tag. Dell publishes no model-wide end-of-service-life date for PowerEdge: renewal is decided per unit, with extensions depending on Dell’s parts availability.
Servnet delivers the same hardware outcomes — diagnosis, parts and certified on-site engineering — as independent third-party maintenance. You pick the SLA per device, we hold the spares in UK stock, and coverage continues for years after Dell stops. It is the pragmatic way to extend the life of a PowerEdge fleet without an OEM-driven refresh.

Dell Server Maintenance — FAQs
Yes. Servnet provides independent third-party maintenance for Dell PowerEdge servers that mirrors the hardware-support scope of ProSupport and ProSupport Plus — fault diagnosis, parts replacement and on-site engineering — priced per device against your ProSupport renewal. The key differences are flexibility (per-device SLA selection) and continuity: we support PowerEdge hardware for years after Dell’s own cover for that service tag ends.
All of them — from current 16G (R660/R760) and 15G (R650/R750) back through the widely deployed 14G (R640/R740) and legacy 13G (R630/R730) that are already past Dell EOSL, plus T-series towers and MX/FX/VRTX modular chassis. Legacy generations past Dell support are one of the most common reasons organisations move to Servnet.
Yes. Hardware faults on the iDRAC remote-access controller, lifecycle controller, and PERC (PowerEdge RAID Controller) cards are within scope, along with drives, backplanes, DIMMs, PSUs, fans and the system board. We keep these parts in UK spares stock for the platforms we cover.
If a server is still inside its original Dell warranty, that warranty stays with Dell regardless of who provides post-warranty support. Most PowerEdge servers move to third-party maintenance once the original ProSupport term ends, so there is no warranty to affect.
Yes. Dell states that all drivers and firmware for Dell servers are free to download from the Dell Support website, with no warranty or contract needed, and its PowerEdge security advisories are public. Servnet advises on firmware strategy per platform and applies updates during maintenance visits — hardware support itself is fully independent.
It depends on the servers, their age and the SLA, so we price each device against your current ProSupport renewal. As an independent benchmark, Gartner’s 2019 Market Guide for Data Center and Network Third-Party Hardware Maintenance put TPM savings at 50–70% off OEM support net prices.
