What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL BROCADE VDX 6720 16-PORT SFP+ SWITCH

As a If your products are considered EoL or EoSL, it can feel like you have to get a new product to keep getting support. But that’s not true. You can keep your equipment if you want, but you will have to go without OEM support. This means that if you have any problems with your product, you will have to solve them yourself or find someone else who can help you. It can be difficult to know that your hardware will work properly with new software and technology as they come out. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for BROCADE VDX 6720 16-PORT SFP+ SWITCH

If a manufacturer stops offering support for a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has a lot of its original value, and if it 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 you’re not ready to upgrade your hardware yet, don’t worry. You can still use your current hardware with the help of TPM. This will help you prepare for the transition and make sure you have the finances in order before purchasing new equipment. You can choose when to upgrade, so you don’t have to feel rushed into a decision.
If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you might not have access to the same parts that the manufacturers use. This can be a problem because the parts might not work with your equipment. TPM has access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who work on repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.
You don’t have to pay a lot of money for post-EoL OEM services. Work with a TPM company and you can save money while still getting the work done. TPM companies have skillsets similar to those of OEMs, but they charge less. Plus, with TPM you may get more work done or a more personalized service than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by using a TPM company. Although you will eventually need to upgrade, using a TPM company can help postpone that costly decision.
Some companies specialize in repairing equipment, while others, called Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) programs, can focus on the needs of your company. TPM programs might be able to do a repair that causes less downtime or offer more services that are better for your company. Some TPM options let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with some aspects of an OEM and TPM support if it fits your business better.
