What Can Your Organization Do With EoL or EoSL StorageTek VTL1280 VIRTUAL TAPE LIBRARY

As a Not following your device’s EOL and EOSL dates can lead to problems. If you don’t upgrade your device when it is supposed to be upgraded, you might not have coverage when you need it. This can lead to poor performance, security vulnerabilities, software incompatibilities, and high operating costs. Planning for your EOSL and EOL equipment can help your data center continue to run smoothly even if you find that your budget can’t cope with expensive upgrades. has announced EOSL on all

Benefits of Third Party Maintenance for StorageTek VTL1280 VIRTUAL TAPE LIBRARY

When a manufacturer stops supporting a product, the equipment is not suddenly useless. It still has value, and if it works for your company, it is convenient to keep using it. 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 by using TPM.
If you don’t have the money to upgrade your hardware right now, that’s okay. You can still use your existing hardware with the help of TPM. This will let you upgrade at your own pace and when you’re ready. You can also prepare for the transition by saving up money and making a plan for the new equipment.
If you are working on repairing your hardware yourself, you may not have access to the parts that the manufacturer provides. This can be a problem because the parts that these other companies provide may not be trustworthy. However, if you work with TPM, you will have access to more trusted parts that will work with your equipment. Plus, the technicians who will be performing the repairs are experts in this field and may be more familiar with your equipment than in-house techs.
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.
TPM programs are focused on the needs of your company. They can offer services that create little down time or that are more comprehensive. Some TPM programs, 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 fits your business.
