Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for BROCADE 6520 96-PORT FC-16GB SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly 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 aren’t any big problems with the hardware or where it fits in your company’s infrastructure, you can use it for longer by using TPM.
You may be at a time when your business doesn’t have much extra money to spend on upgrading your hardware. You have your own business to run and need to balance your time. Plus, you don’t want to feel rushed into a decision and buy new hardware before you’re ready. By continuing to use your existing equipment with the help of TPM, you can choose when you’re ready to upgrade. You can prepare for the transition and have your finances in order before purchasing new equipment.
