Case Study: Texas Tech University System reduces storage maintenance costs with Park Place Technologies

Texas Tech University System cuts storage maintenance costs by up to 50% with Park Place Technologies

Texas Tech University System, a major comprehensive research university, faced a challenge supporting its legacy data center storage assets after the OEM declared them end-of-life. Located far from major metropolitan areas, third-party providers could not offer the cost-effective and responsive maintenance required. To extend the hardware's lifecycle and avoid premature replacement, they needed a flexible support solution, which they found with Park Place Technologies' third-party maintenance services.

Park Place Technologies implemented a solution that included onsite parts storage to ensure immediate support, eliminating long response times. This allowed Texas Tech to extend the life of its storage assets by several years and reduce its storage maintenance costs by up to 50% for specific devices. The partnership enabled the university to defer nearly $300,000 in capital expenditure for replacement hardware.
