CISCO NEXUS 5596 LAYER 3 EXPANSION MODULE V2

Even if a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not useless. 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 are no big problems with the hardware or how it works in your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using it for a longer time by using TPM.

Even if your hardware is about to reach its end-of-service life, that doesn’t mean you have to upgrade right away. You can continue using your existing equipment with the help of TPM and upgrade when you’re ready. This way you can take your time and prepare for the transition, and you won’t have to worry about rushing into a decision because of pressure from management.

If you are fixing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the same parts as the people who made your hardware. You might need to get parts from less-than-trustworthy manufacturers. But if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will be fixing your hardware are experts in this field. They may know more about your equipment than the people who work in your company’s IT department.

Save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They offer similar services for much lower prices. Plus, the scope of work might be more expansive or personalized than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. An upgrade will still be necessary at some point, but TPM can help delay it.

OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus more on the needs of your company. TPMs might be able to fix a problem quickly so there is little downtime or offer more services that can save you money. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you buy only the services you need. You can also combine different types of support if it fits your company better.
