COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS 

Misconception #1: MVS only supports EOSL equipment.

Truth: CDS can support all post-warranty equipment, and occasionally in-warranty gear via an SLA uplift—not just EOSL gear.

 

Misconception #2: MVS parts tend to be gray market or refurbished hardware.

Truth: CDS secures and utilizes new, used, and tested OEM-original parts, ensuring quality and reliability.

Misconception #3: Only OEMs can offer remote connectivity solutions.

Truth: CDS utilizes Raytrix to remotely connect to a wide range of server, storage, and network devices.

 

Misconception #4: Software and firmware patches are required to maintain hardware.

Truth: CDS has been supporting post-warranty hardware for over 30 years. Proactive steps, such as downloading and storing software before exiting OEM support, can minimize risk.

 

Misconception #5: MVS can only handle basic hardware issues; OEM support is needed for Sev 1 incidents.

Truth: CDS has a team of highly experienced, educated, and OEM-certified Level 3 technicians with years of OEM experience to resolve critical issues.

 

Misconception #6: MVS can't provide software support.

Truth: CDS offers helpdesk and software troubleshooting services. In some cases, we can upgrade firmware when provided by the client.

Misconception #7: MVS field engineers have limited knowledge compared to OEM field engineers.

Truth: CDS uses the same trained and vetted “smart hands” as the OEMs themselves.

 

Misconception #8: Smaller companies like CDS can't handle large-scale workloads.

Truth: CDS has a proven track record with Fortune 500 and 1000 companies, supporting large, referenceable clients.

 

Misconception #9: There's financial risk in moving away from OEM to smaller MVS support.

Truth: CDS has been in business for over 30 years, supporting major clients across industries like healthcare, finance, and transportation, including EY, S&P, Amdocs, MunichRe, and Citi. We offer strong backing, insurance, and liability coverage.

Misconception #10: MVS CANNOT support complex enterprise data warehouse appliances and configurations like Oracle and Teradata.

Truth: Natrinsic, a division of CDS, is the world's largest provider of OEM-like support for enterprise data warehouse appliances. Fortune 500 companies worldwide trust Natrinsic to keep their mission-critical systems operating at peak performance.
