Warranty and Support
Will HP stand behind Linux if
I have problems?
HP is the first place for support. Hardware and software warranties for the workstations with Linux will be the same as that
of the Windows workstations. Extended hardware warranties and software support options are also available for purchase
if you need extended coverage.
Why should I use HP support
instead of Red Hat support?
HP Linux support services are available on a global basis. HP offers predictable multi-platform expertise providing you
with a single vendor who can effectively support Linux and Windows environments. HP has leveraged its proven support
processes and extensive UNIX expertise to open source environments. HP offers a full portfolio of Linux services, ranging
from phone-in assistance through proactive and mission-critical services. In addition, global education, installation and
integration services, and multi-vendor network services are available to meet Linux and multi-platform support.
