What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL CISCO NEXUS 5020 40-PORT OSM SWITCH

As a If your product is considered to be End-of-Life or End-of-Support, you might feel like you have no choice but to get a new product. But this can be expensive and you might lose the value of your old hardware. If you keep your old equipment, you will not have OEM support. This means that if there are any technical difficulties or breakdowns, you will have to solve them yourself. You also won’t be able to be sure that your hardware will work with new software, technology or security concerns. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for CISCO NEXUS 5020 40-PORT OSM SWITCH

Even if a company stops supporting a product, the product is still useful. 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 aren’t any big problems with the hardware or how it works in your company’s infrastructure, you can use it for longer by using TPM.
You may not have enough money to buy new hardware right now. You also don’t want to be rushed into a decision. TPM can help you use your old hardware until you’re ready to upgrade. You can prepare for the transition and have your finances in order before purchasing new equipment.
If you are repairing your hardware yourself, 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 work well with your equipment. Working with TPM means having access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will be performing the repairs are 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 have lower prices and the same skill set as OEM companies. In addition, the work included with TPM may be more expansive or personalized than what is offered by your OEM. You can also push back the cost of new equipment. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help keep it at bay.
OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to do a repair that creates little downtime or offer more services that can save you money. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with some of each if it works for your business.
