What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL BROCADE 5020 16-PORT FC-4GB SWITCH

As a If your products are at the end of their life or support life, you might feel like you have to buy a new product. This can be expensive and you might lose the value of your old product. If you keep your old product, you will not have OEM support. This means that if there are any problems with your product, you will not be able to get help from the company that made it. You will also have to find new software and technology as they come out. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for BROCADE 5020 16-PORT FC-4GB SWITCH

Even if a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the 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 are no big problems with the hardware or how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for longer by using TPM.
If your hardware is reaching its end of service life and your company doesn’t have much extra money to spend on upgrades, you can choose to continue using your existing equipment with the help of TPM. This will allow you to upgrade when you’re ready, which will give you time to prepare for the transition and get your finances in order.
If you are working on hardware yourself, you may not have easy access to parts from the original manufacturer. This can be a problem because the parts may not work with your equipment. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to more trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs will be experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.
Plus, with TPM you may get more services or a more personalised service than what your OEM offers. You also get to push back the cost of new equipment. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.
OEMs specialize in making equipment. TPM programs can focus on what your company needs. They might be able to fix the equipment in a way that creates little down time for you or offer more services for a better price. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even mix and match between OEM and TPM support if it works better for your company.
