Case Study
Extending the Useful Life of Data Center Hardware
Park Place Technologies is a global data center and networking optimization firm that helps extend the useful life of data center hardware by delivering post-warranty and end-of-service-life (EOSL) support for servers, storage, and networking equipment. Founded in 1991 and serving more than 25,000 organizations worldwide, the company enables customers to operate critical infrastructure beyond OEM support windows, deferring capital-intensive refresh cycles while reducing the e-waste and environmental footprint associated with manufacturing new equipment.
By choosing Park Place Technologies, customers are no longer bound to refresh cycles dictated by OEM timelines, preserving capital for higher-priority investments at potentially 30 – 40% savings relative to OEM maintenance costs. The company’s ParkView Automated Support™ platform detects hardware faults in real time, automates triage, and dispatches the right engineer with the right part—backed by the company’s First-Time Fix™ Guarantee.
From a sustainability perspective, extending the useful life of existing hardware reduces the need to manufacture new equipment, which is inherently more carbon intensive. By extending asset life cycles, Park Place Technologies helps customers reduce IT waste and the environmental impact associated with hardware replacement cycles while potentially lowering total cost of ownership. Park Place leverages its core business to innovate and has developed liquid cooling solutions to help hyper-scale customers meet both robust computing demands and energy efficiency objectives, while also offering GPU maintenance to serve the growing base of AI hardware. Additionally, Park Place’s Curvature Hardware division focuses on pre-owned hardware sales, reducing electronic waste and supporting more sustainable infrastructure management.
More broadly, Park Place Technologies reflects a growing theme, leveraging lifecycle extension and innovation as dual drivers of cost efficiency and sustainability for current and next-generation computing. For customers, this potentially translates into enhanced business resiliency, increased cost savings, and progress toward circularity goals.
Park Place Technologies specializes in supporting and maintaining post-warranty and End of Service Life (EOSL) equipment, potentially saving customers 30 – 40% when compared to maintenance costs from the OEM.
