What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL BROCADE 6505 12-PORT FC-16GB SAN SWITCH

As a If your products are at the end of their life or end of support life, you might feel like you’re stuck. It might seem like you have to get a new product to keep getting support, but that can be expensive and you’ll lose the value of your old hardware. If you keep your equipment, you won’t be able to get help from the manufacturer anymore. But how will you deal with technical difficulties or breakdowns? And how can you be confident that your hardware will work properly as new software, technology and security concerns arise? has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for BROCADE 6505 12-PORT FC-16GB SAN SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops providing support for a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has most of its original value and if it 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 company doesn’t have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrades, you can still use your existing hardware with the help of TPM. This will give you time to prepare for the transition and get your finances in order before purchasing new equipment. You can choose when you’re ready to upgrade and don’t have to feel rushed into a decision.
If you are working on the hardware yourself, you may not have 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 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.
If you are looking for a cheaper way to get your computer repaired after it dies, you should work with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar services as OEMs but at a much lower cost. You can also choose to have a more customized service or even delay the purchase of new equipment if you need to. Although you will eventually have to upgrade, using a TPM company can help postpone that cost.
TPM programs are designed to meet the specific needs of your company. They can offer a repair service that causes as little downtime as possible or provide a more comprehensive service. Some TPM providers, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with elements of both OEM and TPM support if that is what works best for your business.
