What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL CISCO CATALYST 8540 16-PORT 10/100BASE-FX 64K MODULE

As a If your products are at the end of their life or support life, you might feel like you’re stuck. It can seem like you have to get a new product if you want any support, which means spending money and losing the value of the old hardware. If you keep your equipment, you’ll have to proceed without official support from the company that made your product. But how will you deal with technical difficulties or breakdowns? And how can you be confident 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 8540 16-PORT 10/100BASE-FX 64K MODULE

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, that product is not suddenly useless. It still has many of its original features and it can be convenient to keep using it if it works for your company. 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 the product working longer with TPM.
If you don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on new hardware, you can still use your existing hardware with the help of TPM. You can upgrade when you’re ready and have the finances in order. This will help you prepare for the transition.
If you are repairing your own hardware, it can be difficult to find OEM parts. You may have to work with less-than-reliable manufacturers in order to get the parts you need. However, if you want to use TPM, it will be easier to find trustworthy parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will be performing the repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house technicians.
If you want to avoid paying too much for post-EoL OEM services, you can work with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar skills at a much lower price. Plus, with TPM, you may get more services or a more customized experience 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 be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.
OEMs specialize in equipment, but TPM programs can focus more on the needs of your company. They might be able to fix your equipment in a way that causes little downtime or offer more services that can save you money. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you buy only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with parts of OEM and TPM support if that’s what works for your business.
