I had STK support though NASA (National Association of Systems
Administrators) STK did the hardware calls for them. I am very happy them
the support we get.

We had bought a used S70 from IBM, IBM came in and did the install, the box
would crash very 3-6 hours or so during testing, IBM replaced many parts but
still failed, then they wanted to start charging us to fix the box, it was
not yet under or maintenance with NASA yet, but NASA sent in the STK guys
and worked all night with them to get this fixed, something IBM could not do
in 8 days they did in 37 hours.

Subject: Hardware Support : IBM vs STK

     We have 10 RS6000 boxes
and a number of external raid devices
(2104) and some ssa. We are considering
replacing IBM hardware support with STK.

     Does anyone have any comments
regarding their STK hardware support in a
RS6000 environment ?
