We use Akibia for our older Sun hardware. Mostly they send us parts and we do 
the work ourselves. They do have technical support which we have taken 
advantage 
of on a couple of occasions to help with troubleshooting. I can only recall one 
instance in the last 3-4 years where we asked them to send a technician on 
site. 
We have been pleased with their service.
