What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL IBM 80/160GB DDS TAPE SAS-600 INT (FC 5619)

As a If your products are considered EoL or EoSL, you may feel like you are backed into a corner. It may seem like you have to get a new product in order to keep getting support from the company. But this isn’t always the case. You can keep your old hardware, but you will have to proceed without help from the OEM. This means that you will have to solve any technical difficulties or breakdowns on your own, and you can’t 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 IBM 80/160GB DDS TAPE SAS-600 INT (FC 5619)

Even if a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean the product is suddenly useless. Most of the original value still exists, and if the product still works for your company, it can be convenient to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any glaring issues with the hardware and it still fits into your company’s infrastructure, you can stretch your initial investment by using TPM.
You may be at a time when your company doesn’t have much extra money to spend on upgrades. You have your own business to run and you need to balance your time. Plus, you don’t want to feel rushed into making a 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 repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have easy access to parts from the original manufacturer. You may have to turn to less-than-trustworthy manufacturers to get what you need. However, working with TPM entails more access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians performing the repairs are experts in the field and may be more familiar with the equipment than in-house techs.
You can save a lot of money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They usually charge much less than OEMs, and they have a similar skill set. Plus, the scope of work with TPM 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.
TPM programs can focus more on the needs of your company. They might be able to do a repair that causes less downtime or offer more services for a better price. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can also create a hybrid model with elements of OEM and TPM support if that’s what your business needs.
