Overview
SMS provides third-party maintenance and lifecycle IT services for data-center hardware, repairing and supporting high-end servers and storage from brands like IBM, HP, and Dell to extend asset lifecycles at a lower cost than OEMs. It delivers maintenance contracts, spare parts, and field-service support globally, coordinating technicians, parts, and service SLAs across multiple brands. The company grew into a global leader through scale and independent multi-vendor support, including a merger with Curvature and later acquisition by Park Place Technologies. Its goal is to help data centers stay up and running by reducing downtime and total cost of ownership for mission-critical hardware.
