CISCO NEXUS 7702 2-SLOT CHASSIS

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean that the product is suddenly 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 aren’t any glaring issues with the hardware or problems with its place in your company’s infrastructure, you can stretch your initial investment and keep the product working longer with TPM.

It is possible that your hardware will reach its end of service life at a time when your company does not have much extra money to spend on upgrades. You have your own business to run and need to balance your schedule. In addition, you don’t want to feel rushed into a decision about upgrading because you feel like you need new hardware. By continuing to use your existing equipment with the help of TPM, you can choose when you are ready to upgrade. You can prepare for the transition and have your finances in order before purchasing new equipment.

If you are fixing your own hardware, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts may not be as reliable. You can solve this problem by working with TPM. TPM has access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who work for TPM are experts in this field and may know more about your equipment than in-house technicians.

By working with a TPM company, you can avoid paying high prices for post-EoL OEM services. TPM companies offer similar skill sets but at a much lower price. In addition, the scope of work offered by TPM companies 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.

OEMs specialize in their equipment, but TPM programs can focus on the needs of your company. They might be able to repair equipment in a way that creates little downtime 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.
