Cisco Catalyst 3850 3-Year SMARTnet 8x5xNBD | Exchange Service — CON-3SNT-WSC3851X

Keep Cisco Catalyst 3850 switching infrastructure covered with a 3-year SMARTnet service plan built for fast hardware recovery. The 8x5xNext Business Day model provides replacement support when a covered unit fails, helping network teams restore service without waiting for standard procurement cycles. This service is a strong fit for campus and access-layer deployments where uptime matters, but where full 24x7 coverage may not be required. By pairing Cisco support with next-business-day exchange, it gives operations teams a clear path to replacement and a more predictable maintenance budget over the service term. For organizations standardizing on Catalyst switching, the value is in continuity. You get a defined support window, a replacement-based recovery model, and the confidence that failed hardware can be addressed through Cisco’s service structure rather than ad hoc sourcing.
