What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL BROCADE ICX 6450 48-PORT GBE SWITCH

As a Ignoring the end-of-life (EOL) and end-of-service-life (EOSL) dates for your devices 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. Planning for your EOSL and EOL equipment can help your data center continue to run smoothly, even if you find that your budget can’t cope with expensive upgrades. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for BROCADE ICX 6450 48-PORT GBE SWITCH

Even if a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean that the product is useless. It still has most 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 about to reach its end of service 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. This will give you time to prepare for the transition and get your finances in order before purchasing new equipment.
If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to OEM parts. This means that you might have to get parts from less-than-trustworthy manufacturers. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who are performing the repairs will 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 instead. TPM companies offer similar skills at a much lower price. Plus, they may offer more services than your OEM or they may personalize the services to better fit your needs. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.
While an OEM specializes in their equipment, TPM programs can focus more 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 elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
