Our Services

Comprehensive Break Fix & Hardware Support Services

Emergency Hardware Repair

Rapid-response repair for failed servers, networking equipment, storage arrays, and end-user devices. Engineers dispatched within 4 hours to minimise downtime and restore critical services.

On-Site Engineer Dispatch

Skilled field engineers deployed directly to your location — data centre, office, retail branch, or remote site. Engineers arrive equipped with tools and, where pre-arranged, replacement parts.

Multi-Vendor Hardware Support

Coverage across Cisco, Dell, HPE, Juniper, NetApp, EMC, IBM, and more. A single IPGlobal contract replaces multiple vendor support agreements, simplifying procurement and escalation.

Spare Parts Logistics

Pre-positioned spare parts depots across key regions ensure components reach the engineer — and the site — before or concurrent with dispatch. Reduces mean time to repair and eliminates waiting for couriers.

Warranty Management

IPGlobal manages OEM warranty claims, return merchandise authorisations (RMAs), and replacement hardware coordination on your behalf — reducing the administrative burden on your internal teams.

Post-Repair Certification

Every completed repair is documented and certified. Engineers provide a detailed incident report with fault description, parts replaced, tests performed, and confirmation that hardware has been returned to full operational status.

How It Works

Our 5-Step Break Fix Process

1

Fault Reported

Incident raised via our portal, phone, or API integration. Remote triage begins immediately to confirm fault and identify parts required.

2

Engineer Matched

The nearest certified engineer with the appropriate vendor skills is identified and dispatched to meet your agreed SLA window.

3

Parts Sourced

Required spare parts are confirmed and dispatched from the nearest regional depot, coordinated to arrive alongside or ahead of the engineer.

4

On-Site Repair

Engineer performs the hardware repair, replacement, or swap. Functional verification tests confirm the equipment is restored to operational condition.

5

Sign-Off & Report

Engineer obtains site sign-off and a full incident report with certification is delivered to the customer within 24 hours of job completion.

For mission-critical environments, our best-in-class 4-hour on-site SLA provides peace of mind that hardware failures will be addressed rapidly — wherever the site is located.

Global Spare Parts Network

Pre-positioned spares depots across Europe, Americas, APAC, and MEA mean parts reach site faster — reducing mean time to repair and avoiding delays waiting for couriers from distant warehouses.

What SLA options are available for break fix?

IPGlobal offers a range of response SLAs including 4-hour on-site, next business day (NBD), and same-day depending on location and hardware criticality. SLAs are agreed during contract scoping and are backed by our global engineer network and spare parts logistics.

Our break fix coverage spans 190+ countries across Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. Our 10,000+ certified field engineers provide consistent service standards regardless of location.

Which hardware vendors do you support?

IPGlobal engineers are certified across all major vendors including Cisco, Dell, HPE, Juniper, Aruba, NetApp, EMC, Lenovo, IBM, and Fortinet. Our vendor-neutral approach means we can support mixed-estate environments without the need for multiple specialist contracts.

How are spare parts sourced for break fix repairs?

IPGlobal maintains a global network of spare parts depots positioned to support rapid SLA commitments. Parts are pre-positioned in key regions, and our logistics team coordinates delivery to the engineer before or concurrent with site dispatch to minimise downtime.

Every break fix engagement concludes with a full incident report including fault description, parts replaced, engineer notes, time on site, and a post-repair certification confirming the hardware is restored to operational condition. Reports are delivered within 24 hours of job completion.
