Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO CATALYST 6800IA 48-PORT GBE SWITCH W/ REDUNDANT POWER SUPPLY

Even after a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it still has a lot of value. If the product works for your company, you can keep using it by adding extra protection. This is called TPM. You can do this as long as there aren’t any big problems with the product or with how it works in your company’s system.
If your company doesn’t have much extra money to spend on upgrading your hardware, you don’t need to worry. You can use TPM to help you continue using your existing hardware. You can upgrade when you’re ready and have the money saved up. This way, you won’t be rushed into a decision and you can take your time to prepare for the transition.
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 be as reliable. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to more 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.
You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies have much lower prices and offer a similar skill set. You may also get more for your money when you work with a TPM company. For example, 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. Although an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.
TPM programs can specialize in what your company needs. They might be able to do a repair so there is little down time or offer more services that are better for you. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you only buy the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with parts of the OEM and TPM support if it works better for your business.
