CISCO CATALYST 3850 24-PORT 10GBE UPOE SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops offering support for a product, it doesn’t mean that the product is suddenly useless. The product still has a lot of its original value. 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 keep using the product for longer by using TPM.

If you don’t have a lot of money to spend on new hardware, you can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. You can wait until you have the money to buy new hardware and plan for the transition. This will help you avoid being rushed into a decision.

If you are fixing your hardware yourself, you may not have easy access to OEM parts. You might have to get parts from less-than-trustworthy manufacturers. But if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will be repairing your hardware are experts in the field. They may know more about your equipment than the in-house technicians do.

You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies have lower prices and the same skill set as OEMs. Plus, with TPM you may get more work done or a more personalized service than you would from your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by using a TPM company. Although an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, using a TPM company can help delay it.

TPM programs offer different benefits depending on what company you need it for. They might be able to do a repair quickly so there is little downtime or they might offer more services that are better for your needs. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you only purchase the services you need. You can also choose a hybrid model that has some features of both OEM and TPM support.
