Cisco SNTC-8X5XNBD ASR1000 2X40GE EPA Support | 8x5 NBD Enterprise — CON-SNT-EPA24GE0

Keep high-value ASR1000 edge hardware under Cisco support coverage with SNTC-8X5XNBD for the 2 x 40GE EPA. Built for teams that cannot afford uncertainty at the network edge, this entitlement helps maintain access to Cisco technical assistance and hardware replacement coverage when a failure threatens service continuity. For infrastructure environments carrying aggregation, WAN edge, or service-provider traffic, the cost of a support gap is measured in downtime, not just replacement parts. This service is designed to reduce that exposure with 8x5 coverage and next-business-day response, giving operations teams a defined support path when the platform needs attention. It is a practical choice for organizations standardizing on Cisco routing platforms and looking to protect installed hardware without overbuying support they do not need. The result is tighter lifecycle control, faster issue resolution, and better protection for the network components that carry critical workloads.
