Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for NETAPP FAS8080EX FLASH ARRAY

Even if a manufacturer stops offering support for a product, the equipment is not useless. It still has a lot of its original value. If the product works for your company, it is good to keep using it. As long as there aren’t any big problems with the hardware or how it works in your company’s infrastructure, you can keep using the product for longer by using TPM.
If you don’t have a lot of money to spend on new hardware, you don’t need to worry. You can use TPM to help you continue using your old hardware. You can upgrade when you’re ready, and you can prepare for the transition by saving up money.
If you are repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have easy access to the original parts. This can be a problem because the replacements you find may not be as good as the original parts. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who perform the repairs will be experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.
You can avoid high prices for post-EoL OEM services by working with a TPM company. TPM companies offer similar skill sets as OEMs but charge much less. You may also get a more expanded or personalized scope of work than what is offered by your OEM. Additionally, you can push back the cost of new equipment by working with a TPM company. While an upgrade will still be necessary at some point, using a TPM company can help delay it.
OEMs specialize in making equipment. TPM programs focus on what your company needs. They might be able to fix things so there is little downtime or offer more services for a better price. Some TPM programs, like NorthSmart, let you buy only the services you need. You can also choose a hybrid model with parts of OEM and TPM support if that works better for your business.
