JUNIPER MX 4-PORT 10GBE ENHANCED QUEUING DPC MODULE

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has most of its original value and it can be convenient to keep using it if it works 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 stretch your initial investment and keep the product working longer with TPM.

If you don’t have a lot of money to spend on new hardware, you can still use your old hardware with the help of TPM. You can wait until you’re ready to upgrade, and you can prepare for the transition by getting your finances in order. When you’re ready, you can purchase new equipment.

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

You can avoid the high prices for post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. They offer similar skills at a lower price. Plus, the scope of work may 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. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, TPM can help delay it.

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