What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL BROCADE SILKWORM 16-PORT FC-4GB SWITCH

As a If your products are at the end of their life (EoL) or support life (EoSL), you may feel like you have to get a new product. But this isn’t always the case. You can keep your old hardware if you want, but you won’t be able to get support from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). This means that if you have any problems with your hardware, you’ll have to solve them yourself or find someone else who can help you. It can also be difficult to keep up with new software, technology, and security concerns when your hardware is old. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for BROCADE SILKWORM 16-PORT FC-4GB SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it does not mean that the equipment is suddenly useless. It still has a lot 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 big problems with the hardware or how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for longer by using TPM.
You may not have enough extra money to buy new hardware right now. You have your own business to run and you don’t want to be rushed into a decision. You can use TPM to help you use your current hardware until you’re ready to upgrade. When you’re ready, you can prepare for the transition and make sure you have the finances in order before buying new equipment.
If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to OEM parts. This can be a problem, because non-OEM parts may not be as trustworthy. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians performing the repairs will be experts in the field and may be more familiar with the equipment than in-house techs.
You can save a lot of money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They have much lower prices than OEMs and their skill set is similar. In addition, the scope of work with TPM may be more expansive or personalized than what is offered by your OEM. You also get to push back the cost of new equipment. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help keep it at bay.
TPM programs can help your company more than OEMs. TPM programs might be able to do a repair that has little downtime or offer more services for a better price. You also have the option of choosing only the services you need from TPM programs. If that doesn’t fit your business, you can also create a hybrid model with some aspects of OEM and TPM support.
