What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL CISCO CATALYST 8540 4-PORT OC-3C/STM-1 SMF LR PAM MODULE

As a If your products are considered End-of-Life or End-of-Service Life, you might feel like you are stuck. It may seem like you have to get a new product to continue getting support, but that can be expensive and you might lose the value of your old hardware. If you keep your equipment, you will have to go without help from the original equipment 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 8540 4-PORT OC-3C/STM-1 SMF LR PAM MODULE

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has a lot of its original value, and if the product works for your company, it is convenient to keep using it. 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 using it for longer by using TPM.
You might not have enough money to upgrade your hardware right now. That’s okay! TPM can help you continue using your old hardware until you’re ready to make the switch. You can plan for the upgrade and make sure you have the money saved up before buying new equipment. This will help you avoid being rushed into a decision and will give you time to find the best deal on new hardware.
If you are repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer does. In this case, you may need to find a less-trusted manufacturer to get the parts you need. However, working with TPM will give you access to more trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Additionally, the technicians who are performing 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 offer similar skill sets as OEMs, but for a much lower price. In addition, the scope of work may be more expansive or customized than what is offered by your OEM. 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, TPM can help delay it.
TPM programs can specialize in what your company needs. They can do things like have little downtime or offer more services for a better price. Some TPMs, like NorthSmart, let you only buy the services you need. You can also create a model that has some of both OEM and TPM support if it works better for you.
