As a You might feel like you have no choice if your products are considered EoL or EoSL. It may seem like you need to get a new product if you want to keep getting support, but that means spending money and losing the value of your old hardware.

And how can you be sure that your hardware will work properly as new software, technology and security concerns come up? has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO MDS 9718 18-SLOT CHASSIS

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, that product is not useless. It still has a lot of its value. If the product works for your company, it is good to keep using it. You can keep the product working longer if you use TPM. This means that you don’t have to replace the product right away if there are no big problems with it and it still works with your company’s system.
If you don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on new hardware, don’t worry. You can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. That way, you can upgrade when you’re ready and have everything planned out ahead of time. You won’t have to rush into anything.
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, since you may have to rely on less-than-reliable manufacturers for parts. Working with TPM can be a better option, since you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians performing the repairs will be experts in the field and may be more familiar with the equipment than in-house techs.
If you want to avoid paying high prices for post-EoL OEM services, you can work with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar skills at a lower cost. Plus, with TPM you may get more services or a more personalized service 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, TPM can help delay it.
OEMs specialize in making equipment, but TPM programs can focus on what your company needs. For example, a TPM program might be able to repair equipment quickly so there is little down time. Or, TPM might offer more services that can save you money. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you only buy the services you need. You can also choose a hybrid model that combines aspects of OEM and TPM support if it fits your business better.
