Nutanix Support & Maintenance

Nutanix third-party support is hardware maintenance and technical assistance provided by independent companies outside of Nutanix for hyperconverged infrastructure including Nutanix-branded NX appliances and OEM partner devices like Dell EMC XC and HPE ProLiant DX. Third-party providers offer break/fix hardware support, parts replacement, and on-site maintenance for the physical servers.

Organizations can save up to 70% on support costs while receiving superior service and expertise. This substantial cost reduction makes third-party maintenance especially attractive for post-warranty Nutanix hardware.

Third-party providers support Nutanix NX series appliances, Dell EMC XC hyperconverged systems, and HPE ProLiant DX servers. Coverage includes all Nutanix models, not just specific series, as well as the underlying SuperMicro hardware that powers many Nutanix NX appliances.

When Nutanix hardware reaches End of Service Life, Nutanix will no longer offer support and maintenance for those models, and no further upgrades or updates will be released. This creates risk for businesses continuing to use unsupported hardware, but third-party providers can extend support well beyond manufacturer EOSL dates.
