What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL CISCO CATALYST 4948 48-PORT 10/100/1000 MULTILAYER SWITCH

As a If your product is End-of-Life or End-of-Support, you might feel like you are stuck. You might think that you need to get a new product to keep getting support, but that can be expensive and you might lose the value of your old product. If you keep your old product, you will have to go without support from the manufacturer. 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 4948 48-PORT 10/100/1000 MULTILAYER SWITCH

When a manufacturer stops providing support for a product, it doesn’t mean that the product becomes useless. In fact, the product still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is a good idea 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 keep using the product for longer by using TPM.
If your hardware is reaching its end of service life and your company doesn’t have much extra money to spend on upgrades, you don’t need to worry. You can continue using your existing equipment with the help of TPM. This will give you time to prepare for the transition and get your finances in order before purchasing new equipment.
If you are fixing 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 with your equipment. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that are guaranteed to work with your equipment.
You don’t have to pay a lot for post-EoL OEM services. You can work with a TPM company and save money. TPM companies have similar skills, but they charge less. Plus, the scope of work may be more extensive or personalized than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by using a TPM company. An upgrade will still be necessary at some point, but using a TPM company can help delay it.
OEMs specialize in making and selling equipment. TPM programs focus on the needs of a company, like making sure that downtime is minimized when there is a repair or providing more services that might be helpful. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what works for your business.
