Server Manufacturer Offering 4 year warranty?

Question

I'm looking for a server to build a high availability cluster solution. The requirements ask for 4 year warranty.

I have been looking at IBM, HP, DELL, Fujitsu and seems 3 year warranty is standar.

Is there any manufacturer offering longer warranties?

Almost all of them - basic warranty on almost every server I've seen it 3 years, but you can pay a bit extra to extend it a few more years.

Picking a random Dell server, A PowerEdge 720, upgrading the default 3 year 5x10 hardware only next business day warranty to 5 years is $919. You get that option when configuring it.

Not only do they offer it - if you call a sales rep they will practically beg you to extend the warranty - it's a huge profit for them.

Almost all major manufacturers will extend their default warranty to 5 or 7 years at the time of purchase. You should take a minute to call some sales reps and gather this information for yourself.
