Independent post-OEM infrastructure support

Enterprise Infrastructure. Extended.

Keep critical systems running beyond OEM support—without unnecessary refresh cycles. Independent post-OEM infrastructure support backed by deep enterprise engineering expertise.

The lifecycle challenge

OEM support ending doesn't mean your infrastructure stopped creating value.

When a platform passes an OEM lifecycle milestone, the hardware keeps running your business — but the support model, and the pressure to refresh, change quickly.

  • Refresh pressure arrives on the OEM's calendar, not your operational one.
  • Lifecycle blind spots — EOA/EOL/EOSL exposure that isn't visible until it's urgent.
  • Skills gaps as deep platform expertise becomes harder to reach.
  • Operational risk when complex environments lose senior support.
Kelri gives your team another option

Independent support that maps to how your infrastructure actually runs — not to an OEM's lifecycle calendar. We help you keep proven systems in service safely, and refresh or migrate when that is genuinely the better decision.

OEM experience. Without the OEM lifecycle.
What we do

Three ways Kelri extends your infrastructure

Independent, senior support across the whole lifecycle — from operating beyond OEM support to knowing exactly where your exposure is.

Post-OEM Infrastructure Support

Keep proven systems operating safely beyond OEM end-of-service-life, with senior engineers on call.

Infrastructure Lifecycle Intelligence

Understand your EOA/EOL/EOSL exposure before it becomes urgent — and plan on your timeline.

Expert Engineering Services

Advanced troubleshooting and escalation-grade expertise for complex enterprise environments.

Specialization & direction

NetApp support is where we started. Enterprise infrastructure lifecycle support is where we're going.

Kelri began with deep NetApp expertise — ONTAP, FAS, and AFF environments operating beyond OEM support. The same engineering discipline extends across the enterprise infrastructure lifecycle.

Lifecycle decision framework

Kelri helps you decide, asset by asset, what to:

  • Retain & support — proven systems that are safe to keep running.
  • Remediate — address a specific risk to extend safely.
  • Migrate or refresh — when operational, security, capacity, or business needs justify it.
Extending isn't always right. We present a risk-based decision, not a refresh-avoidance ideology.
Expert engineering

Built around engineers who have lived inside OEM escalation paths.

Kelri is built around senior former NetApp support and escalation engineers — the people complex enterprise tickets used to get escalated to.

  • Senior former NetApp support & escalation engineers
  • Deep ONTAP and infrastructure troubleshooting expertise
  • Real-world knowledge from complex enterprise environments
  • Independent guidance — not tied to any OEM's roadmap
How we describe our team
  • Senior engineers with deep OEM support & escalation experience
  • Hands-on NetApp ONTAP, FAS, and AFF background
  • Independent — never implying current OEM employment or endorsement

How we engage

Simple, practical support engagement.

A clear path from OEM-only dependency to flexible, senior-led support.

1

Assess your environment

We review your NetApp and infrastructure estate, lifecycle dates, and current support posture.

2

Identify support gaps and lifecycle risks

We pinpoint EOL/EOSL exposure, escalation gaps, and where OEM cost no longer maps to value.

3

Build a support plan

A practical coverage plan scoped to your assets, workloads, and risk tolerance.

4

Transition from OEM-only dependency

We move you onto flexible, senior-led support — at your pace, with no forced refresh.

5

Support, troubleshoot, and optimize

Ongoing escalation-grade support, performance guidance, and lifecycle planning.

Value

Lower cost. Longer life. More control.

Independent support changes the economics of proven infrastructure — so lifecycle decisions stay with you, driven by facts and business risk instead of a renewal deadline.

  • Reduce dependence on rising OEM renewal costs
  • Extend the useful life of stable, capable hardware
  • Reach senior engineers faster, without tier gatekeeping
  • Preserve control over when — and whether — you refresh
Where teams find value
  • Predictable cost — an alternative to escalating OEM renewals, scoped to your environment.
  • Extended service life — where the platform is safe and sensible to keep running.
  • Reduced risk — senior expertise on call for complex, business-critical systems.
Cost and lifecycle outcomes vary by environment, contract, and asset age. Kelri scopes the specifics during your assessment — no inflated guarantees.
