Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for BROCADE 16/32-PORT FC-4GB SAN SWITCH (MCDATA)

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean the product is suddenly 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 big problems with the hardware or how it works in your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for a while by using TPM.
If you don’t have much extra money to spend on new hardware, but your old hardware is about to reach its End of Service Life, you can choose to keep using your old hardware with the help of TPM. This will help you prepare for the transition and get your finances in order before buying new equipment. You can choose when to upgrade, so you won’t feel rushed into a decision.
If you are repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to OEM parts. This can be a problem because these parts are usually of better quality than aftermarket parts. However, you can work with TPM to get the trusted parts you need. Plus, the technicians who will be performing the repairs are 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. Work with a TPM company and you can save money while still getting the work done. TPM companies have skillsets similar to those of OEMs, but they charge less. Plus, with TPM you may get more work done or a more personalized service than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by using a TPM company. Although you will eventually need to upgrade, using a TPM company can help postpone that costly decision.
OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to fix things quickly with little downtime or offer more services that save you money. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also choose a hybrid model that mixes elements of OEM and TPM support if it fits your business.
