Independent support for Quantum Scalar tape libraries, DXi deduplication appliances, and StorNext storage hardware.
Quantum equipment tends to hold long-retention data — the kind with a legal obligation attached. That tier shouldn't be running unsupported.
Current and long-retired platforms alike, under a single coterminous agreement. Don't see your model? It's very likely covered — just ask.

Straight talk on where independent support genuinely helps — and where it doesn't.
Scalar libraries frequently hold seven- or ten-year retention data. Quantum's support window is considerably shorter than that retention requirement.
Picker assemblies and magazine mechanics are the failure points on any tape library. We stock those specifically.
Like any deduplication appliance, moving off a DXi means rehydrating and re-ingesting. Extending the hardware is usually the cheaper path by a wide margin.

Most environments run four or five vendors. Consolidating removes a great deal of administrative overhead.
