FUJITSU ETERNUS DX90 DISK ARRAY

When a manufacturer stops providing support for a product, that product is not useless. It still has a lot of its original value, and if it works for your company, it is helpful to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any big problems with the hardware or how it fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product longer with TPM.

You may be at a point where your hardware is about to reach its End of Service Life. This might be a difficult time for your company because you don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrades. You have your own business to run and you need to balance your time carefully. Plus, you don’t want to feel like you need to make a hasty decision about upgrading your hardware. By continuing to use your existing equipment with the help of TPM, you can choose when you’re ready to upgrade. You can prepare for the transition and have your finances in order before purchasing new equipment.

If you are making hardware repairs yourself, you may not have access to OEM parts. 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 techs.

If you want to avoid paying too much for post-EoL OEM services, you can work with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar skills at a much lower price. Plus, with TPM, you may get more services or a more customized experience than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. Although an upgrade will be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.

TPM programs focus on the needs of a company. They can do things like repair equipment to create little downtime or offer more services for a better price. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also choose a hybrid model that includes some aspects of OEM and TPM support.
