Asset Solutions Overview
SMS puts you back in control of your data center information by allowing you to view and manage all the paperwork associated with your support operation.
Developed by SMS engineers who are faced with support issues every day, singlePoint™ helps you manage support details in your data center with the following process:
-
Survey and Inventory Your
Data Center
SMS performs a site survey to gather important information regarding every device covered in our Master Maintenance Contract. This may include configurations, IOS versions, patch levels, and network diagrams, and other important data points related to your servers, storage, etc. All of this information, as well as external documentation, can be stored in singlePoint™ .
Track Your Assets
SMS uses singlePoint™ to track these assets. This means that we know precisely where the asset is located in your local, remote, or hosted data center.
Retire Your Assets in a Green and Secure manner
When your asset approaches retirement, we can arrange for disposal of the equipment. If a disposal certification is required, we provide this to you and log it into singlePoint™ so that you have a complete record of the asset from purchase to retirement.
Service Contract Management
Nothing is more painful than managing the mix of multi-vendor, multi-year, multi-OEM, multi-concurrent warranty expirations for a large Data Center. SMS is your Service Maintenance Integrator. singlePoint™ can help with managing all your service contracts, alerting you when warranty is expiring, and co-termination of all contracts.
SMS maximizes the useful life of your data center assets by reducing the cost-of-ownership of all technologies. To many, the manufacturer dictates cost-of-ownership life-cycles. Today, with SMS Support, cost-of-ownership can be extended from 3 years to 10 and even 15 years for many products.
Let SMS help you manage your data center, and its data, to keep it up and running.
