CISCO NEXUS 3550-F FUSION MULTIPLEXER

Even when a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the product is not useless. It still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is good to keep using it. As long as there are no big problems with the hardware or with how it works in your company’s infrastructure, you can use the product for longer by using TPM.

If your hardware is about to reach 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 worry. You can continue using your existing equipment with the help of TPM. That way, you can choose when to upgrade, and you can prepare for the transition by getting your finances in order first.

If you are fixing the hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts may not work with your equipment. But if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who are repairing your hardware 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. Work with a TPM company instead. They offer similar services at a much lower cost. Plus, you may get more work done with TPM than you would with your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with TPM. Although 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. They might be able to repair equipment in a way that causes 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 it fits your business better.
