What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL CISCO CATALYST 2960 8-PORT LAN SWITCH (LAYER-2)

As a If your products are considered EoL or EoSL, you may feel like you are in a difficult situation. You might think that you need to get new products in order to continue getting support from the company. But this can be expensive and you might lose the value of your old hardware. If you keep your equipment, you will have to go without support from the OEM. But this can be difficult because you will not have technical support if there are any problems with your hardware and new software, technology and security concerns could arise in the future. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO CATALYST 2960 8-PORT LAN SWITCH (LAYER-2)

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 a good idea to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any major problems with the hardware or how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for 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 work with your equipment. When you work with TPM, you have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will repair your equipment are experts in their field and may know more about it than in-house technicians.
Use a TPM company to save money on post-EoL OEM services. TPM companies have lower prices and the same skill set as OEMs. You can also get more work done for less with a TPM company. Plus, you can push back the cost of new equipment. An upgrade will still be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.
OEMs specialize in equipment, while TPM programs can focus more on the needs of your company. They might be able to do a repair that creates as little downtime as possible or offer more services that can provide a better deal. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
