CISCO CATALYST 3560E 12-PORT 10GB SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops providing support for a product, it doesn’t mean that the product becomes 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 glaring issues with the hardware or problems with its place in your company’s infrastructure, you can stretch your initial investment and keep the product working longer with TPM.

You may not have much extra money to spend on upgrading your hardware right now. You have a lot of other things to do and you don’t want to be rushed into a decision. But if you use TPM, you can wait until you’re ready to upgrade. You can plan for the transition and get your finances in order before buying new hardware.

If you are working on your own hardware, you may not have access to parts from the original manufacturer. This can be a problem because the parts might not be compatible with your equipment or they might not be as reliable. When you work with TPM, you have access to trusted parts that are guaranteed to work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will be performing the repairs are experts in this field and they may be more familiar with your equipment than the in-house technicians.

You can avoid paying high prices for post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar skill sets as OEMs but at a much lower cost. Plus, with TPM you may get more work done or a more personalized service than you would from 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 delay it.

TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to do a repair that causes less down time for your business or offer more services that deal with what you need. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with parts of an OEM and TPM support if it works better for your company.
