BROCADE NETIRON XMR 8000 8-SLOT CHASSIS

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not 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 are no major problems with the hardware or how it works in your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for a longer time by using TPM.

If your hardware is about to reach 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, and upgrade when you’re ready. You can prepare for the transition and have your finances in order before purchasing new equipment.

If you are fixing your computer or other 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. Working with TPM means having access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will be repairing your equipment are experts in this field and may know more about it than in-house technicians.

You can avoid the high prices for post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They offer similar skills at a much lower price. Plus, the scope of work may be more extensive or personalized than what your OEM offers. 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.

OEMs specialize in equipment, while TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. A good TPM program might be able to do repairs in a way that creates as little downtime as possible for you. They might also offer more encompassing services that can provide a better deal for you. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need from them. You can even create a hybrid model with elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
