defuse downtime with the perfect blend of proactive and reactive support


HP Critical Services brings you the best of both worlds: expert preventive services to keep your mission-critical multivendor hardware and software available 24x7 – plus super-responsive remedial support for fast, seamless resolution whenever unforeseeable problems crop up. This convenient Care Pack packaged service helps you understand and eliminate the causes of downtime, meet your availability-level commitments, and enjoy the multiple benefits of collaboration with a true IT support partner.


proactive services


Your assigned support team of HP-certified experts first conducts an assessment of where you are today. This is used to design a strategy to bring your IT commitments in line with your business goals. Your team meets with you quarterly to discuss progress and ongoing alignment with your goals to ensure continual improvement. The team also provides you with custom-tailored change management guidance and advice. Working closely with your IT staff and management, your team can identify and manage delivery of technical services for improvements in areas such as availability, capacity management, change planning, and security.
