CISCO 4-PORT T3/E3 SHARED PORT ADAPTER (V2)

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean that the product is 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 a while by using TPM.

You may not want to buy new hardware yet because your company doesn’t have a lot of extra money. You also have your own business to run and need to balance your time. Plus, you don’t want to feel like you have to hurry into a decision. You can continue using your old hardware with the help of TPM. This will let you choose when you’re ready to upgrade and will help you prepare for the transition. You can also get your finances in order before buying new equipment.

If you are repairing the hardware yourself, you might not have access to the original parts. This can be a problem because the replacements might not be trustworthy. But if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that work well 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. They usually charge less than OEMs and have a similar skill set. Plus, the scope of work with TPM may be more comprehensive and personalized than what is offered by your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM. While you will still need to upgrade at some point, TPM can help delay that cost.

OEMs specialize in their own equipment, but TPM programs can focus more on the needs of your company. They can often repair equipment in a way that causes as little downtime as possible, or offer more comprehensive services that might be better for you. 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 that’s what works best for your business.
