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

As a If your products are considered End-of-Life or End-of-Support, it might feel like you have no choice but to get new products. This can be expensive and you might lose the value of your old hardware. But if you keep your old equipment, you will have to go without support from the Original Equipment Manufacturer. This can be difficult because you will have to solve technical problems on your own and you won’t be able to be sure that your hardware will work with the latest software or technologies. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO CATALYST 4948E 48-PORT 10/100/1000 SWITCH

If a company stops supporting a product, that product is not useless. It still has a lot of value, and it can be useful if the company keeps using it. But if there are any problems with the hardware or with how it is used by the company, then the product might not work well. In that case, it is helpful to use TPM to keep the product working longer.
If your hardware is going to reach its End of Service Life soon and your company doesn’t have much extra money to spend on upgrades, you can continue using your existing 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’re ready, you can purchase new equipment.
If you are working on your own hardware, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. In this case, you may need to find a different supplier who can provide you with parts that are trusted and will work with your equipment. When working with TPM, you have access to parts that are known to be reliable and compatible with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than any in-house technician.
You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They offer services at a much lower price than OEMs, and they have a similar skill set. You can also get more work done with TPM than you would with an OEM, and you can push back the cost of new equipment. An upgrade will still be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.
OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to repair equipment in a way that creates little downtime or 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.
