What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL BROCADE 5020 32-PORT FC-4GB SWITCH

As a If your products are considered EoL or EoSL, you may feel like you are backed into a corner. It may seem like you have to get a new product in order to keep getting support from the company. But this isn’t always the case. You can keep your old hardware, but you will have to proceed without help from the OEM. This means that you will have to solve any technical difficulties or breakdowns on your own, and you can’t be sure that your hardware will work with new software, technology or security concerns. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for BROCADE 5020 32-PORT FC-4GB SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean the product becomes 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 glaring issues with the hardware or problems with its place in your company’s infrastructure, you can stretch your initial investment and keep the product working longer with TPM.
If your hardware is going to reach its end of service life soon and your company doesn’t have much extra money to spend on upgrades, don’t worry. You can continue using your existing equipment with the help of TPM. This will allow you to upgrade at your own pace and without feeling rushed. You can also prepare for the transition by saving up money so you’re ready to buy new equipment when the time comes.
If you are repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the replacements may not be as good as the original parts. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. The technicians performing the repairs will also be experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.
You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They have lower prices and the same skill set. Plus, the work that they do may be more extensive or personalised than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. Although you will need to upgrade at some point, using a TPM company can help delay that expense.
OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. TPM options might be able to fix something quickly so there is little downtime or offer more services that can save you money. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you buy only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with some aspects of OEM and TPM support if that works better for your business.
