CISCO CATALYST 6513 FIREWALL SECURITY SYSTEM

When a manufacturer stops providing support for a product, it doesn’t mean the product becomes useless. 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 major problems with the hardware or with how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for a longer time by using TPM.

You may not have enough money to upgrade your hardware right now. That’s okay! You can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. This will help you prepare for the upgrade and make sure you have the money to pay for it when you’re ready.

If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. In this case, you might need to find less-than-reliable suppliers in order to get what you need. However, working with TPM will give you access to trusted parts that will work 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.

Save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar services but at a much lower cost. Plus, the scope of work may be more expansive or personalized than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, using a TPM company can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in equipment, while TPM programs focus more on the needs of your company. TPM programs might be able to do a repair in a way that creates less 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.
