HITACHI 360 24-PORT FC-8GB SWITCH (BROCADE)

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has a lot of its original value, and it can still be useful for your company. As long as there aren’t any glaring issues with the hardware or problems with its place in your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using it for longer by using TPM.

If you don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on upgrading your hardware, you don’t need to worry. You can use TPM to help you continue using your existing hardware. This way, you can upgrade when you’re ready and have the finances in order. You won’t have to rush into a decision because you feel like you need new hardware.

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.

You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They have lower prices and the same skill set. Plus, the work that they do may be more extensive or personalised than what your OEM offers. You can also push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. Although you will need to upgrade at some point, using a TPM company can help delay that expense.

TPM programs focus on the needs of a company. They might be able to do a repair that causes little downtime or offer more services for a better price. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you buy only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with parts of OEM and TPM support if it fits your business.
