What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL BROCADE DCX 48-PORT FC-8GB ENHANCED BLADE (FC8-48E)

As a Not following your device’s End-of-Life (EOL) and End-of-Support-Life (EOSL) dates can lead to a situation where you might not have coverage when you need it. This can lead to poor performance, security vulnerabilities, software incompatibilities, and high operating costs. Paying attention to these dates and creating a plan for your EOSL and EOL equipment can help your data center continue to run smoothly, even if you find that your budget doesn’t allow for expensive upgrades. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for BROCADE DCX 48-PORT FC-8GB ENHANCED BLADE (FC8-48E)

Even if the manufacturer no longer supports a product, it doesn’t mean that the product is useless. In fact, the product may still have a lot of value. If it works for your company, it is a good idea to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any major problems with the hardware or how it integrates into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for a while by using TPM.
If your hardware is reaching its end-of-support life and your company doesn’t have much extra money to spend on upgrades, you don’t need to worry. You can continue using your existing equipment with the help of TPM. That way, you can choose when to upgrade and you can prepare for the transition by getting your finances in order. When you’re ready, you can purchase new equipment without feeling rushed.
If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts may not work with your equipment. Working with TPM means having access to parts that are trusted and will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who are repairing your hardware are 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. TPM companies have lower prices and offer similar skillsets. Plus, with TPM you may get more services or a more customized experience than you would from your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. Although you will still need to upgrade at some point, using a TPM company can help delay the expense.
OEMs specialize in making equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to do a repair that creates as little downtime as possible or offer more services that can provide a better deal. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with some of the features of OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
