Limited Lifetime Warranty.
HPE Aruba network products are based on certain quality and reliability standards that you can rely on, which is why HPE offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the majority of their hardware.
A Lifetime Warranty on switches lasts as long as the original purchaser owns the product. With access points, the warranty is limited to five years after the end-of-sales date.
Why a basic warranty isn’t enough.
- No fixed response or recovery times
- No advance delivery of spare parts. Defective hardware has to be returned to the vendor first.
- No service hotline and no priority when it comes to reporting an issue
- No coverage outside of standard business hours
- No coverage at weekends or on bank holidays

Partner Branded Support Services.
Partner Branded Support combines the flexibility and proximity of Bechtle’s own service units with the security that comes with a warranty extension by the original vendor.
Bechtle is your single point of contact for your Aruba infrastructure service requests. You’ll receive expert support from our highly qualified, German-speaking technicians when you call our service hotline. What’s more, Bechtle keeps replacement parts in stock to guarantee fast delivery.
- One stop for implementation and support
- Bechtle as a single point of contact
- German telephone support
- Full manufacturer support (L1 and L2 via Bechtle, L3 via Aruba)
- For Aruba LAN and W-LAN components and software
- Replacement parts dispatched NBD
If you would like on-site service, an individual service contract must be concluded with your Bechtle systems integrator or you should purchase the vendor’s Foundation Care Service.
Foundation Care Services.
Benefits of Foundation Care:
The costs of a typical Aruba support contract are on average 10% of the entire hardware investment. This relatively low cost can make all the difference when it comes to protecting your business-critical applications.
