Technology is constantly advancing, which means that the IT industry never stops evolving, making it essential for businesses to stay connected. Reliable networking equipment is vital in maintaining seamless connectivity and uninterrupted business operations. Without proper networking equipment, companies may suffer disruptions that can result in losses and affect customer satisfaction.
Cisco, being one of the leading providers of networking solutions, has always been at the forefront of providing reliable and innovative products to meet the demands of the ever-changing IT landscape. However, with the constant evolution of technology and the need for sustainable practices, Cisco has taken a step further by introducing Cisco Refresh.
What Is Cisco Remanufactured Equipment?
Cisco Refresh is a program by Cisco that offers remanufactured networking equipment at affordable prices. The term "remanufactured" refers to products that have been returned to Cisco, refurbished, and tested for quality assurance before being made available for resale.
Although refurbished, these products undergo rigorous testing and renovation processes to ensure they meet Cisco's high-quality standards. These processes include the thorough inspection, cleaning, and replacement of any worn or damaged components. These products are then tested to perform like new before being certified for sale.
Cisco Refresh products provide businesses with a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to purchasing new equipment without compromising quality or reliability.

Remanufactured With ISO 9001/14001 Precision

As a result, businesses can have confidence in the reliability and performance of their Cisco Refresh equipment.
Full Cisco Warranty And Product Support
Cisco Refresh products come with a full Cisco warranty and product support, providing businesses with peace of mind and assurance that they are investing in high-quality equipment. The warranty and support cover any defects or issues that may arise, ensuring optimal performance and minimizing downtime for businesses. Their full warranty and product support also make Cisco Refresh products a more attractive and reliable option than buying used equipment from third-party vendors.
Cost-Effective IT Solutions
The refurbishment process of Cisco Refresh products allows businesses to save significant costs without compromising on quality or reliability. By choosing remanufactured equipment, businesses can allocate their IT budget more efficiently as well as invest more in other critical areas of their operations. This is particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized organizations with budget constraints but still with the requirement for high-quality networking equipment.
Lowest Total Cost Of Ownership (TCO)
TCO refers to the total cost of owning and maintaining a product over its lifetime. Cisco Refresh products have been proven to have the lowest TCO compared to new or used equipment from other vendors. This is due to their high-quality standards, full warranty and support, and cost-effectiveness, making them a smart investment for businesses in the long run.
