AVAYA 4850GTS 48-PORT GBE POE+ SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. The equipment still has most 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 keep the product working longer by using TPM.

You may not have enough money to upgrade your hardware right now. That’s okay! You can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. This will help you make the decision to upgrade when you’re ready and have everything planned out. You can also prepare for the transition by making sure you have the money saved up.

If you are fixing the hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts might not work with your equipment. But if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will fix your hardware are experts in their field and may know more about your equipment than the people who work in-house.

You can avoid the high prices for post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. With much lower prices and a similar skill set, they can get the job done without charging a premium.

OEMs specialize in equipment, while TPM programs can focus more on the needs of your company. For example, a TPM program might be able to repair equipment in a way that creates as little downtime as possible. Or they might offer more encompassing 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.
