ARISTA 7280E 48-PORT 10GBE R/F SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean the product becomes useless. Most of the product’s value still remains, and if it works for your company, it is still convenient to use 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 keep the product working longer using TPM.

If you don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrading your hardware, don’t worry. You can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. That way, you can upgrade when you’re ready and have everything planned out ahead of time. You’ll be able to get new equipment without feeling rushed.

If you are repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to the same parts that the original manufacturer used. In this case, you may need to find a less-trustworthy manufacturer to get the parts you need. However, working with TPM will give you access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians performing the repairs will be experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.

You don’t have to pay a lot of money for post-EoL OEM services. You can work with a TPM company to get the job done at a lower price. TPM companies have similar skill sets and can do the job without charging too much.

Even though an OEM specializes in their equipment, a TPM program can focus more on the needs of your company. A TPM might be able to do a repair in a way that has less downtime for your company or offer more services that can save you money. Some TPMs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with some elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what works best for your business.
