We Add Experts to Your Team

At Extended Technical Solutions, we understand the critical role NetApp storage infrastructure plays in your data center. Our Level 3 engineers support NetApp environments across enterprise platforms, including FAS, AFF, and E-Series arrays, controllers, and disk shelves. With direct access to our specialists, you gain experienced professionals who work as an extension of your internal IT team—ready to diagnose issues, repair hardware, and optimize your NetApp systems with confidence.

Focus on Your Priorities

OEM renewals and EOSL notices often force unnecessary upgrades and downtime risk. The most common hardware challenges we solve include:
  • Wasted Time: Avoid OEM escalation queues that slow recovery and leave critical NetApp storage systems exposed to performance issues.
  • Resource Misallocation: Stop the pressure to replace healthy storage arrays; maintain them to preserve capital budgets and prevent operational disruption.
  • Inventory Agility: ETS delivers proactive parts stocking and rapid field response so your teams stay focused on innovation, not vendor refresh cycles.

Unbiased Recommendations

When relying solely on OEM contracts, every outage discussion often ends with a refresh proposal. If a NetApp system encounters a fault, the OEM recommendation is typically to replace hardware regardless of whether it is the most effective solution.

ETS follows a vendor-neutral approach focused on your uptime, budget, and operational needs. We provide transparent sparing strategies, lifecycle planning, and proven repair options that extend the life of your NetApp storage infrastructure without the pressure of OEM-driven refresh cycles.
