On the scale of 12 months
you will be contracting with CSC.
I thought they were spinning out their services organization to CSC ...
not the whole kit and kaboodle ...

This is IMO different than what Tim is concerned with. Support
contracts for HPE software (what ... Ibrix or similar?) Services are
typically outsourced managed services.

Really not very impressed with HPE's missive yesterday changing the
software support contracts so that now it's going to be impossible
to reinstate a software support contract if you let it lapse for
more than 12 months.
The existing system was expensive but reasonable (you have to pay to
reinstate, including all the time in between when the contract
expired and the time of reinstatement).
But to now just bluntly state that if it's lapsed for more than 12
months you can never reinstate it seems somewhat draconian.
