Protect the operational value of your Cisco NCS 520 Series 8-port deployment with Smart Net Total Care 8x5xNBD coverage. This support offering is designed for teams that need a clear response path, predictable service windows, and dependable access to Cisco technical assistance when network issues threaten uptime.

This support model helps reduce that risk by providing a structured escalation path during business hours with next-business-day response expectations, giving your team a practical way to manage incidents without paying for around-the-clock coverage you may not need. It is a strong fit for procurement teams that want to align support spend with actual operating requirements, while still preserving the service quality expected from Cisco infrastructure. For organizations standardizing on the NCS 520 family, this entitlement helps protect the platform that carries essential traffic and keeps network operations moving.
