Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO MDS9000 48-PORT FC-8GB SWITCH MODULE

Even if a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean that the product is useless. In fact, it still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is convenient to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any problems with the hardware or its place in your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for a longer time by using TPM.
If your hardware is reaching its end-of-service life and your company doesn’t have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrades, you don’t need to feel rushed into a decision. You can continue using your existing equipment with the help of TPM and upgrade when you’re ready. You can prepare for the transition and have your finances in order before purchasing new equipment.
If you are working on repairing hardware yourself, you may not have access to OEM parts. This means that you might have to get parts from less-than-reliable manufacturers. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will be repairing your equipment are experts in the field and may be more familiar with it than in-house technicians.
In addition to savings, the scope of work included with TPM may be more expansive or personalized than what is offered by your OEM. You also get to push back the cost of new equipment. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help keep it at bay.
OEM companies specialize in making equipment. However, TPM programs can focus on what your company needs. They might be able to repair equipment in a way that creates as little downtime as possible or offer more services that can provide a better deal. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
