ARISTA 7150S-64 64-PORT SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops providing support for a product, that product is not useless. It still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is good to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any big problems with the hardware or how it works in your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for longer by using TPM.

You may not have enough extra money to buy new hardware right now. You also don’t want to be rushed into a decision. You can keep using your old hardware with the help of TPM. When you’re ready, you can upgrade and prepare for the transition by getting your finances in order.

If you are repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to parts from the original manufacturer. This can make it difficult to find parts that will work with your equipment. However, by working with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that are guaranteed to work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs will be experts in their field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house technicians.

Working with a TPM company can help you avoid high prices for post-EoL OEM services. TPM companies offer similar skills at a much lower cost. In addition, they may offer a more expansive or personalized scope of work than your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in equipment, while TPM programs focus on the needs of a company. TPM programs might be able to do a repair in a way that creates less down time for a company or offer more services that can provide better value. 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.
