Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO CATALYST 8540 MSR 16-PORT OC-3 SMF LR LINE CARD

Even if a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean the product becomes useless. In fact, the product still has a lot of its original value. If it works for your company and you’re comfortable with it, you can keep using it by using TPM (Total Productive Maintenance). As long as there aren’t any major problems with the hardware or how it interacts with your company’s other systems, you can keep the product going for longer without having to replace it.
If you don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrading your hardware, you can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. You can upgrade when you’re ready, and you can prepare for the transition by saving up money.
If you are repairing your own hardware, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem, because the parts you use may not be as reliable. A better option might be to work with TPM. TPM has access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.
You don’t have to pay a lot for post-EoL OEM services. You can work with a TPM company instead. They offer the same skills at a much lower price. Plus, with TPM, you may get more services or a more personalised experience than you would from your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with TPM. While you will need to upgrade eventually, TPM can help delay that expense.
OEMs specialize in making equipment, but TPM programs can focus on what your company needs. For example, a TPM program might be able to do a repair quickly so there is little downtime. Or they might offer more services that are better for your company. Some TPM companies, like NorthSmart, let you choose the services you need and even create a hybrid model with some of the features of both OEM and TPM support.
