Frequently Asked Questions

Cisco Support & Maintenance FAQs

Cisco third-party support is hardware maintenance and technical assistance provided by independent companies (not Cisco Channel Partners) offering maintenance services for Cisco routers, switches, firewalls, UCS servers, access points, and other networking equipment. Third-party providers offer break/fix support, parts replacement, on-site maintenance, and 24/7 technical assistance as an alternative to Cisco SMARTnet.
Organizations typically save 30-70% compared to Cisco SMARTnet and Smart Net Total Care contracts. Third-party maintenance delivers reliable support at significantly lower costs while maintaining high service standards.
Cisco charges a premium for their highest level of support, but third-party providers with large teams of badged L1-L3 engineers can provide up to 24×7 SLAs at the same rate as Cisco’s base level support. Third-party providers can also keep hardware running past Cisco’s End of Service Life date, allowing you to use equipment on your timeline.
Third-party providers offer customizable SLA options including 24×7 support with 4-hour on-site response for mission-critical systems, next-day response, and flexible service levels based on business needs.
