What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL NETAPP AFF8080 2-CTRL FLASH ARRAY

As a If your products are considered End-of-Life (EoL) or End-of-Service-life (EoSL), you may feel like you have to get a new product to keep getting support. This can be expensive and it means losing the value of your old hardware. However, if you keep your equipment, you can still get support but it will be from other sources. You will have to face technical difficulties and breakdowns on your own, though. And you cannot be sure that your hardware will work with new software, technology or security concerns as they come up. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for NETAPP AFF8080 2-CTRL FLASH ARRAY

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, it doesn’t mean that the product is useless. It still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is convenient to keep using
You may be wondering if you should upgrade your hardware soon. However, if you don’t have the extra money to spend right now, or if you don’t want to be rushed into a decision, you can continue to use your current hardware with the help of TPM. This will allow you to upgrade at your own pace and prepare for the transition so that you’re ready when the time comes. You can also make sure that you have the finances in order beforehand.
If you are trying to fix your computer or device yourself, you may not have access to the same parts that the manufacturer uses. This can be a problem because the parts may not work well with your equipment. When you work with TPM, you have access to trusted parts that are guaranteed to work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.
You can save money on post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar skill sets as OEMs but at a much lower price. In addition, TPM companies may offer a more expansive or personalized scope of work than what is offered by your OEM. 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. A TPM program might be able to fix your equipment in a way that causes as little downtime as possible. They might also offer more services that can help your business save money. Some TPM options, like NorthSmart, let you purchase only the services you need. You can even create a hybrid model with some of the features of OEM and TPM support if that’s what fits your business.
