APC SYMMETRA PX 100KVA SCALABLE UPS

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has most of its original value, and if the product works for your company, it is convenient to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any glaring issues with the hardware or problems with its place in your company’s infrastructure, you can stretch your initial investment and keep the product working longer by using TPM.

If you don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrades, you can still use your existing hardware with the help of TPM. That way, you can upgrade at your own pace and when you’re ready. You can prepare for the transition by saving up money and by making sure that your schedule will allow for the upgrade.

If you are fixing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the original manufacturer used. This can be a problem because the replacements may not work as well with your equipment. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that are guaranteed to work with your equipment. In addition, the technicians who will be repairing your hardware are experts in their field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house technicians.

If you want to avoid paying too much for post-EoL OEM services, you can work with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar skill sets as OEMs but at a much lower price. Plus, the scope of work may be more expansive or personalized than what is offered by your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. Although an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, using a TPM company can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in making equipment, but TPM programs can focus on what your company needs. They might be able to repair equipment in a way that causes as little downtime as possible or offer more services that can provide a better deal. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with elements of OEM and TPM support if it fits your business better.
