ARISTA 7050SX 48-PORT 10GBE SWITCH

If a manufacturer stops supporting a product, that doesn’t mean the product is useless. It still has a lot of its original value. 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 use TPM to stretch your initial investment and keep the product working longer.

If you don’t have a lot of money to spend on new hardware, you can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. You can upgrade when you’re ready and have everything planned out. This will help you not feel rushed into a decision and make sure you’re prepared for the change.

If you are repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to original parts from the manufacturer. This can be a problem because the replacements may not be as good quality or may not work with your equipment. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to more trusted parts that are made specifically for your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs will be experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.

You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies have lower prices and the same skill set as OEMs. They can do the job without charging more.

TPM programs offer different benefits for companies. They might be able to repair equipment in a way that creates 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 that’s what fits your business.
