Independent post-OEM infrastructure support

Enterprise Infrastructure. Extended.

Keep critical systems running beyond OEM support—without unnecessary refresh cycles. Independent post-OEM infrastructure support backed by deep enterprise engineering expertise.

The lifecycle squeeze

OEM support costs rise. Your infrastructure still has life left.

Hardware that runs your business doesn't suddenly stop working when the OEM declares it end-of-life. But the support economics change — fast.

  • Many enterprises retire stable, well-performing infrastructure years too early.
  • After EOL/EOSL milestones, OEM support can become costly, limited, or unavailable.
  • Internal teams need senior expertise on call — without being pushed into an unnecessary refresh.
Without independent support
  • Renewal quotes climb each cycle on aging assets.
  • Premium uplift just to keep a coverage contract in place.
  • Refresh budgets pulled forward before they're warranted.
  • Tickets routed through tiers before reaching a senior engineer.

There's another option — one that keeps you in control of when, and whether, you refresh.

The Kelri option

Kelri gives your team another option.

Independent, senior support that maps to how your infrastructure actually runs — not to an OEM's lifecycle calendar.

Independent NetApp support

Senior ONTAP and storage expertise on call — without OEM tiering or lifecycle pressure.

EOL/EOSL lifecycle extension

Keep stable, capable hardware in production safely after end-of-life milestones.

Escalation-grade troubleshooting

Reach engineers who have worked the hardest enterprise cases — directly.

Multi-vendor infrastructure support

One relationship across storage, server, and network — not one contract per box.

Engineer-led differentiator

Built around engineers who have lived inside OEM escalation paths.

Kelri is built around senior former NetApp support and escalation engineers — the people complex enterprise tickets used to get escalated to.

  • Senior former NetApp support & escalation engineers
  • Deep ONTAP and infrastructure troubleshooting expertise
  • Real-world knowledge from complex enterprise environments
  • Independent guidance — not tied to any OEM's roadmap

How we engage

Simple, practical support engagement.

A clear path from OEM-only dependency to flexible, senior-led support.

1

Assess your environment

We review your NetApp and infrastructure estate, lifecycle dates, and current support posture.

2

Identify support gaps and lifecycle risks

We pinpoint EOL/EOSL exposure, escalation gaps, and where OEM cost no longer maps to value.

3

Build a support plan

A practical coverage plan scoped to your assets, workloads, and risk tolerance.

4

Transition from OEM-only dependency

We move you onto flexible, senior-led support — at your pace, with no forced refresh.

5

Support, troubleshoot, and optimize

Ongoing escalation-grade support, performance guidance, and lifecycle planning.

Value

Lower cost. Longer life. More control.

Independent support changes the math on aging infrastructure — so lifecycle decisions stay with you, driven by data instead of a renewal deadline.

  • Reduce maintenance spend versus rising OEM renewals
  • Extend the useful life of stable, capable hardware
  • Reach senior engineers faster, without tier gatekeeping
  • Preserve control over when and whether you refresh
Where teams find value
  • Predictable costAn alternative to escalating OEM renewals, scoped to your environment.
  • Extended service lifeWhere the platform is safe and sensible to keep running.
  • Reduced riskSenior expertise on call for complex, business-critical systems.

Cost and lifecycle outcomes vary by environment, contract, and asset age. Kelri scopes the specifics during your assessment — no inflated guarantees.
