Why Choose Third-Party Network Maintenance Over OEM Contracts?

OEM contracts inflate costs, restrict flexibility, and push unnecessary upgrades. Network TPM puts you back in control — extending asset life, cutting spend, and delivering responsive, expert support without vendor lock-in.

EFFICIENCY & ROI

Maximize Budget Efficiency

Reduce annual maintenance spend and eliminate "upgrade pressure." TPM is ideal for post-warranty and EOSL hardware that remains stable in production. Third-party network maintenance providers like ETS allow you to avoid premature upgrades and extend asset life.

Direct Engineer Access

Reach experienced engineers faster to reduce mean time to repair (MTTR). Less scripted triage, more effective troubleshooting and RCAs.

Flexible SLAs + Parts Logistics

Choose NBD or faster response where available. We align SLA tiers to device criticality (core vs edge) and geography.

One Contract for Mixed Vendors

Consolidate Cisco, Juniper, Arista, F5, Brocade, and legacy switching into a single third-party network maintenance contract with one point of contact and unified SLAs.

Network Infrastructure Maintenance for Post-Warranty & EOSL Hardware

Many organizations continue running stable Cisco Catalyst, Juniper EX, and Brocade switching hardware well beyond OEM end-of-support dates. Our network infrastructure maintenance services provide a cost-effective alternative — covering EOSL switches, routers, and firewalls with the same response times and engineer quality as active-warranty support. From legacy Cisco ASA firewalls to end-of-life Juniper MX routers, ETS keeps your network running without forced upgrades.
