Systems manufacturers frequently operate on a 6-9 month product lifecycle. Minimizing the number of hardware standards for extended deployments can be challenging in this environment. When you consider the significant implementation and software costs associated with a technology deployment, any extension in the lifecycle of your install base can have a substantial, positive, bottom-line effect. At IT Xchange, we work globally with Tier 1 manufacturers, like IBM, to stock and source discontinued and constrained products. IT Xchange can assist you in maintaining your existing platform or standards when product is unavailable through normal or primary distribution channels.
