Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO 9216 MDS 16-PORT FC-2GB MULTILAYER FABRIC SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean that the product becomes useless. The product still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is helpful 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 use the product for longer by using TPM.
If you don’t have much extra money to spend on upgrading your hardware, you can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. You can choose to upgrade when you’re ready and have everything planned out ahead of time. That way, you won’t feel rushed into a decision and you can get the most for your money.
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 these parts may not be trustworthy. However, by working with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work 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. TPM companies offer similar skill sets as OEMs, but at much lower prices. In addition, the work that is included 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 are different than OEMs. They might specialize in repairing your equipment with little downtime, or offer more comprehensive services that save you money. Some TPM providers, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even choose a hybrid model that includes aspects of both OEM and TPM support if it fits your business best.
