What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL BROCADE X6-8 16-PORT FC-32GB ICL UPGRADE KIT

As a If your products are end-of-life or end-of-support, you might feel like you’re stuck. You might think that you need to get a new product in order to keep getting support, but that can be really expensive and you might lose the value of your old hardware. If you keep your old equipment, you won’t have OEM support. That means that if there are any technical difficulties or breakdowns, you’ll have to figure it out on your own. And it can be hard to be sure that your hardware will work well with new software and technology as they come out. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for BROCADE X6-8 16-PORT FC-32GB ICL UPGRADE KIT

If a manufacturer stops offering support for a product, the equipment is not useless. It still has a lot of its original value, and if it works for your company, it is good to keep using it. As long as there are no major problems with the hardware or with how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product longer by using TPM.
If your hardware is about to reach its end-of-service life (EoSL) 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 repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts may not be as reliable. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that are known to work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs will be experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house technicians.
You don’t have to pay a lot for post-EoL OEM services. Work with a TPM company instead and you’ll save money. TPM companies have similar skill sets, but they charge less. Plus, the work they do may be more extensive 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 delay that for a while.
OEMs specialize in their machines and equipment. However, TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) programs can focus more on the needs of your company. They might be able to do a repair that creates less down time for you or offer more services that fit your needs better. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with some elements of OEM and TPM support if it works better for your business.
