Oxford context

Why Oxford hardware support is its own discipline

Oxford hosts research compute at scale (one of the UK's densest academic-research footprints), OUH clinical at John Radcliffe + Churchill + Nuffield + Horton, plus Oxford spinout production estates.

Pulsant OXF, Synergy OXF, Telehouse W

Servnet engineers attend Pulsant OXF, Synergy OXF, plus Telehouse W and Equinix LD4 at Slough (often used by Oxford customers) inside a 4-hour SLA.

Oxfordshire parts depot

Same-day parts stock for Dell, HPE, Cisco, NetApp, Pure, Lenovo, Juniper inside the Oxfordshire / Thames Valley regional depot.

EOSL + post-warranty for legacy on-prem

Oxford firms running 7-year refresh cycles keep that kit running on Servnet third-party maintenance — typically 50–70% cheaper than vendor TPS.

University term-aware change windows

For Oxford University customers, change-window work happens during term breaks (Christmas / Easter / summer vacation) to minimise disruption.
