Cisco Solution Support - Extended Service - Service Cpu, Mem, Drives, 1

Experience enterprise-grade reliability with Cisco Solution Support’s Extended Service. Designed to safeguard your critical hardware investments, this service delivers proactive maintenance, rapid problem resolution, and predictable budgeting for devices that power your business. The Extended Service focuses on essential components—CPU, memory, and drives—ensuring your Cisco infrastructure operates at peak performance while minimizing operational risk. With 24x7 access to Cisco experts and a consistent 4-hour hardware exchange window, you gain a dependable partner dedicated to keeping your most vital systems online and performing at their best.

  • 24x7 expert support with a 4-hour hardware exchange: Round-the-clock access to Cisco technical engineers means you’re never left in the dark. When a hardware fault is detected, a replacement part is dispatched to restore service within a targeted four-hour window, helping to dramatically reduce downtime. The rapid exchange process is designed to keep mission-critical applications available and your users productive, even during off-hours or peak demand.
  • Comprehensive coverage of CPU, memory, and drives: This Extended Service specifically protects the components most closely tied to system performance: central processing units, memory modules, and storage drives. By addressing failures in these core elements, you reduce the risk of bottlenecks, data access delays, and performance degradation that can ripple through your entire network or data center environment.
  • Predictable total cost of ownership (TCO): With parts replacement and a standardized service model, you gain budgetary clarity and fewer surprise expenses. The program simplifies long-term planning by consolidating maintenance costs into a predictable, recurring investment, allowing you to forecast cash flow across your Cisco deployment with confidence.
  • Reliability through proactive maintenance and standardized processes: Beyond reactive support, this service emphasizes proactive health checks, routine component validation, and consistent replacement practices. By replacing aging or at-risk hardware before failures occur, you benefit from steadier performance, fewer unplanned outages, and more reliable operation of your Cisco infrastructure over time.
  • Minimized downtime with an exchange-based model: The hardware exchange approach accelerates recovery, avoiding lengthy repair cycles. Replacement parts are prepared and shipped to reduce wait times, so your systems can return to full operation quickly. This model is especially valuable for environments that require high availability, stringent SLAs, and uninterrupted access to business-critical services.

Activating and leveraging Cisco Solution Support Extended Service is a structured, customer-focused process designed to be seamless with your existing Cisco assets. The steps below outline how to activate coverage, verify compatibility, and ensure you receive timely support when you need it most. This program is service-oriented rather than software installation, so emphasis is on registration, scheduling, and ongoing management of your contract to keep hardware covered and responsive.

  • Step 1 – Verify compatibility and gather device details: Before activation, confirm which devices and hardware components are covered by the contract. Collect model information, serial numbers, and any relevant SKU or UPC data for your Cisco devices that include CPUs, memory, and drives. This ensures accurate mapping of your assets to the Extended Service offering.
  • Step 2 – Purchase or renew the Extended Service: Work with your Cisco account representative or authorized partner to purchase or renew the Extended Service. You’ll receive a contract identifier and an agreed service level that aligns with your operational needs, regional support availability, and uptime objectives.
  • Step 3 – Register and link devices to the service: In the Cisco Support Portal or through your partner, register the contract and link the covered devices to the Extended Service. This creates a live record of coverage, enabling rapid escalation and precise asset management when a fault occurs.
  • Step 4 – Schedule activation and confirm contact channels: Establish the preferred contact points, escalation paths, and on-call routing. Confirm whether exchanges will be conducted on-site, via courier, or through shipping to a designated service center, depending on regional capabilities and contract terms.
  • Step 5 – Validate coverage and manage ongoing updates: After activation, verify that all eligible CPUs, memory modules, and drives are appropriately associated with the service. Maintain awareness of device refresh cycles, firmware alignments, and any changes to the asset inventory to preserve continuous protection.
