Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO CATALYST 2980G-A 80-PORT 10/100TX SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has a lot of its original value, and if the product works for your company, it is convenient to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any big issues with the hardware or problems with how it works in your company’s infrastructure, you can stretch your initial investment and keep the product working longer with TPM.
If your hardware is going to reach its End of Service Life soon, but you don’t have the money to upgrade right now, don’t worry. You can use TPM to help you extend the life of your hardware until you’re ready. You can plan for the upgrade and make sure you have the finances in order before purchasing new equipment. This way, you won’t feel rushed into a decision.
If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to OEM parts. You might have to get parts from less-than-trustworthy manufacturers. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians performing the repairs will be experts in the field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.
If you want to save money on post-EoL OEM services, you should work with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar services for much lower prices. In addition, the scope of work may be more expansive or personalized than what your OEM offers. Plus, you can push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.
OEMs specialize in making equipment, while TPM programs focus on the needs of a company. A good TPM program might be able to do a repair in a way that creates little downtime or offer more services that can save you money. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with some elements of OEM and TPM support if it fits your business better.
