What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL CISCO CATALYST 3550 24-10/100 2-GBIC PORT SWITCH

As a If your products are considered End-of-Life (EoL) or End-of-Service-Life (EoSL), you may feel like you are stuck and don’t have any other options. It can seem like you have to get a new product in order to keep getting support, but this can be costly and you might lose the value of your old hardware. If you keep your equipment, you will have to go without help from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). But how will you deal with technical difficulties or breakdowns? And how can you be sure 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 3550 24-10/100 2-GBIC PORT SWITCH

Even if the manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean that the product becomes useless. It still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is good 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 it for a longer time by using TPM.
If your hardware is reaching its end-of-support life, but you don’t have the money to upgrade right now, you can still use it with the help of TPM. You can take your time to choose when to upgrade and prepare for the transition. You’ll want to make sure you have your finances in order before purchasing new hardware.
If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the original manufacturer used. This can be a problem because the replacements may not work as well or might not be compatible with your equipment. Working with TPM means having access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who are doing the repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.
You don’t have to pay a lot for post-EoL OEM services. You can work with a TPM company and get the job done for much less. In addition, TPM companies offer a skill set that is very similar to what you would find at an 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.
OEMs are experts in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus more on the needs of your company. For example, a TPM program might be able to do a repair in a way that creates as little downtime as possible. Or they might offer more services that can provide a better deal. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
