Cisco 3YR SNTC 24x7x4 MDS 9132T 32G FC SWI | Support Contract — CON-3SNTP-9132T8PT

Protect the availability of your storage network with a support contract designed for critical SAN infrastructure. Cisco Smart Net Total Care for the MDS 9132T 32G Fibre Channel switch provides 24x7 coverage over a 3-year term, giving operations teams a clear path to assistance when fabric issues cannot wait for business hours. The 24x7x4 service level is the key value here: around-the-clock support paired with 4-hour hardware replacement helps reduce the time a failed component can remain in the path of production storage traffic. For environments where storage latency, path redundancy, and maintenance windows are tightly managed, that response profile can be the difference between a contained event and a wider outage. This is the right fit when the switch is part of a larger Cisco MDS deployment and the cost of downtime is far greater than the cost of support. It gives procurement teams a predictable service term and gives infrastructure teams the assurance that the platform is backed by Cisco’s support organization for the full contract period.
