Don’t Let Legacy Tech Weigh Down Your Cloud Migration
Legacy data center equipment
Support Legacy Hardware. Retire It on Your Timeline.
Make your move
Servers, storage, and networking equipment often remain in production for years after migration begins. SLS helps organizations maintain critical infrastructure after OEM support ends, reduce unnecessary support spending, and retire assets securely when workloads move to the cloud.
Third-party maintenance, decommissioning, lease-return management, and hardware buyback services from one partner.
Stop refreshing hardware you’re planning to retire
Many organizations continue paying OEM maintenance contracts and replacing hardware that already has an expiration date.
SLS provides post-warranty support and third-party hardware maintenance for servers, storage, and networking equipment, helping organizations extend useful life, reduce support costs, and free budget for strategic initiatives.
Benefits:
- Reduce maintenance costs
- Avoid unnecessary hardware refreshes
- Extend hardware life beyond OEM support
- Shift budget toward transformation projects
- Support equipment from multiple vendors
One contract. Multiple vendors. Less complexity.
Hybrid IT environments rarely come from a single manufacturer.
SLS provides multi-vendor hardware support across legacy infrastructure operating in data centers, colocation facilities, and hybrid cloud environments. One contract. One support model. One escalation path.
Support includes:
- Third-party maintenance
- Break/fix services
- Critical spare parts
- SLA-backed response options
- Server support
- Storage support
- Network equipment support
Your migration timeline should drive your support strategy
Cloud migration projects rarely happen on schedule. Infrastructure expected to be retired in six months often remains operational for several years.
SLS helps organizations align maintenance agreements with migration realities rather than vendor hardware refresh cycles.
When legacy infrastructure becomes legacy hardware
Retiring infrastructure is more than powering equipment down.
SLS coordinates legacy infrastructure retirement activities with migration milestones to help reduce risk, control costs, and maintain visibility throughout the process.
Services include:
- Staged decommissioning
- Asset inventory reconciliation
- Lease-return management
- Data destruction
- Logisitics coordination
- Asset tracking and reporting
- Regulatory compliance

Recovered value through our hardware buyback program.
Retired value through our hardware buyback program
Retired equipment still has value.
SLS helps organizations maximize recovery from servers, storage systems, networking equipment, racks, and other data center assets through our global hardware buyback and IT asset disposition programs.
Depending on condition and market demand, equipment may be:
- Redeployed
- Refurbished
- Resold
- Harvested for parts
- Responsibly recycled
The result: lower migration costs and improved value recovery from retired infrastructure.
One partner for the entire journey
Most providers focus on one phase of the lifecycle. SLS manages the entire process.
Maintain. Retire. Recover Value.
From post-warranty support and multi-vendor maintenance to decommissioning, data destruction, asset remarketing, and recycling, SLS helps organizations manage legacy infrastructure with less cost, less complexity, and less risk.
