Definition
A Warranty refers to the contractual period during which a hardware asset (e.g., server, laptop, disk) is covered for repairs, replacements, or support by the manufacturer or vendor. In the MSP context, warranty information helps inform lifecycle management, asset planning, and service prioritization. Tracking warranty status enables technicians to escalate hardware issues appropriately and manage risk around unsupported devices.
