Cisco DCN Advantage Term N9800 Modular 8 Slot, 7Y | Support — C1A1TN9800M8-7Y

Cisco DCN Advantage Term for the N9800 Modular 8 Slot platform delivers 7 years of support coverage for organizations that need dependable service continuity across a longer infrastructure lifecycle. It is designed for environments where the switching platform is central to operations and support planning must stay aligned with capital cycles, maintenance windows, and refresh strategy. A 7-year term helps reduce the administrative burden of frequent renewals while giving procurement and operations teams a clearer view of total support commitment. That matters when the platform is expected to remain in service across multiple budget periods and the cost of interruption is higher than the cost of planning ahead. Advantage support is a practical fit for teams that want structured vendor coverage for a modular N9800 deployment. It supports disciplined lifecycle management, simplifies contract administration, and helps keep the environment covered without forcing short-term decisions that can disrupt long-range planning. Choose this term when the goal is to keep a critical modular switching platform supported, forecastable, and aligned with enterprise operating requirements over an extended horizon.
