ARUBA 3400 8-PORT NETWORK CONTROLLER

Even if a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the product is not useless. It still has most of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is good to keep using it. As long as there are no big problems with the hardware or with how it fits into your company’s system, you can keep using the product for a longer time by using TPM.

If you do not have a lot of money to spend on upgrading your hardware, you can choose to wait. You can use TPM to help you continue using your old hardware until you are ready to upgrade. You can plan for the transition and make sure you have the money saved up before buying new equipment.

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

You can avoid high prices for post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies have lower prices and the same skill set as OEMs. You can also get more work done for less money, and you don’t have to wait as long for the work to be done. You also get to push back the cost of new equipment. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help keep it at bay.

OEMs specialize in making and selling equipment. But TPM programs can offer more services that meet the needs of your company. For example, a TPM program might be able to do a repair in a way that creates little downtime or offer more services that are better for your company. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with some elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what works best for your business.
