As server maker Rackable Systems announces an agreement to acquire the assets of Silicon Graphics (SGI) for a mere $25 Million, XS International is announcing its continued global support on SGI equipment through at least 2015. XS International, the largest independent maintenance supporter of SGI equipment, supports its 3,300+worldwide customers through a network of field support technicians and five global parts depots.

“It is sad that the once great SGI has fallen on unfortunate times and devalued its assets,” said Todd A. Bone, CEO of XS International. “XS International will continue to maintain and support SGI equipment through 2015 giving SGI customers and end-users some peace of mind in the midst of corporate turmoil.

Mr. Bone continued to say, “Over the last year we worked with Linux Networx customers that paid for their support in advance, only to find SGI did not acquire the support liability, we are expecting the same with SGI’s customers. XS International will offer flexible financing for those SGI customers caught up in the same unfortunate circumstance.”
