Is NetApp Pushing You Into an Upgrade You Don’t Need?

If you're relying on NetApp hardware for your storage infrastructure, you're not alone—NetApp has long been a trusted name in enterprise data management. But as OEM support winds down with End-of-Life (EOL) and End-of-Service-Life (EOSL) dates, many organizations face unnecessary pressure to refresh hardware that’s still fully functional.

Here’s the reality: Up to 70% of IT budgets are spent maintaining existing infrastructure. Replacing perfectly good NetApp systems just because support has ended only increases that number. That’s where third-party maintenance (TPM) comes in.

At Alucid Solutions, we help enterprise teams extend the value of their NetApp investment with cost-effective, SLA-driven support that rivals the OEM—without the premium price tag. We provide:

✅ Ongoing support for EOL/EOSL NetApp hardware

✅ Fast response times and replacement parts

✅ Flexible contract terms with no forced upgrades

Your hardware still works. Your data is still secure. And with the right support partner, your infrastructure stays optimized—without draining your IT budget.

Stop replacing. Start maximizing. Let’s talk about how to keep your NetApp systems running strong.
