What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL CISCO CATALYST 2948 48-PORT 10/100 SWITCH

As a Your products may be considered EoL or EoSL. This means that you might need to get a new product if you want to continue receiving support from the company. This can be costly and also mean that you lose the value of your old hardware. If you keep your equipment, you will have to proceed without support from the OEM. But how will you deal with technical difficulties or breakdowns? And how can you be confident that your hardware will work properly as new software, technology and security concerns arise? has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO CATALYST 2948 48-PORT 10/100 SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean the product is useless. In fact, it still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is a good idea to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any major issues with the hardware or problems with how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for longer with TPM.
You may not have enough extra money to buy new hardware right now. You have your own business to run and you need to balance your time. Plus, you don’t want to be rushed into a decision because you feel like you need new hardware. By continuing to use your existing equipment with the help of TPM, you can choose when you’re ready to upgrade. 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 OEM parts. This means that you might have to work with less-than-trustworthy manufacturers in order to get the parts you need. However, working with TPM entails more access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians performing the repairs are experts in the field and may be more familiar with the 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 a much lower price. 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.
You might want to consider a Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) program. TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company and might be able to offer you a service that creates little downtime or offers more services for a better price. You also have the option of choosing a service like NorthSmart that lets you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with elements of both OEM and TPM support if it fits your business.
