CISCO CATALYST 3850 4-PORT 1GB NETWORK MODULE

When a manufacturer stops offering support for a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has a lot of its original value, and if it 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’re not ready to upgrade your hardware yet, you can still use your old equipment with the help of TPM. You can choose when to upgrade, and you can prepare for the transition by getting your finances in order. When you are ready, you can buy new equipment that will work with your old hardware.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts may not work well with your equipment. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work well with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs will be experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.

You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They have lower prices and the same skill set. Plus, the work that they do may be more extensive or personalised than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. Although you will need to upgrade at some point, using a TPM company can help delay that expense.

OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to do a repair that creates less downtime or offer more services that are better for you. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with some of the features of OEM and TPM support if it fits your business better.
