Built for organizations seeking dependable, scalable protection without sacrificing agility, it aligns technical resilience with business continuity so you can focus on growth rather than firefighting.

• Proactive, end-to-end support: With Cisco’s Technical Assistance Center (TAC) backing your mission-critical devices, you gain access to proactive diagnostics, continuous health checks, and triggered alerts that surface potential issues before they become outages. The service is designed to intervene early, suggesting configuration refinements, firmware recommendations, and maintenance windows that align with your operational rhythms. This proactive stance reduces mean time to detect and repair, helps you avoid costly disruptions, and supports a smoother IT governance process across your organization. By leveraging real-time analytics and best-practice guidance, you can tune performance, improve capacity planning, and sustain higher levels of service availability.
• Hardware-centric coverage for CPU, memory, and drives: This extension specifically targets the core hardware components that commonly constrain performance and reliability. Coverage includes critical processor units, memory modules, and storage drives—elements whose failure or degradation can ripple across the entire network. The service ensures replacement parts, when eligible, are supplied promptly to minimize downtime and maintain service levels. With this focus, you protect the most impactful parts of your Cisco infrastructure, helping to preserve throughput, latency, and overall device health in challenging operating conditions.
• Flexible, scalable protection for evolving networks: As your network grows—whether expanding data centers, embracing hybrid cloud, or deploying new Cisco platforms—this extended service is designed to scale with you. It accommodates multi-site deployments, varying device types, and changing coverage requirements without forcing a new procurement cycle. The flexibility extends to deployment options, enabling remote assistance or on-site support depending on your criticality and location. This adaptability can translate into a lower total cost of ownership by consolidating coverage under a single, consistent service framework while preserving the agility to respond to business changes.
• Fast, reliable response times with practical escalation: Time to resolution is a top priority for any production environment. This extended service provides streamlined access to Cisco’s experts and well-defined escalation paths, with response times tailored to the severity of the issue and regional considerations. Whether through remote diagnostics, guided troubleshooting, or rapid on-site intervention when required, you’ll experience faster case handling and fewer delays.
