Cisco SNTC-8X5XNBD MDS 9700 48-Port 64-Gbps FC Module | Support — CON-SNT-3072TK9

Maintain storage fabric continuity with Cisco support coverage for the MDS 9700 48-port, 64-Gbps Fibre Channel module. Built for teams that cannot afford extended disruption, this service adds 8x5 next-business-day response coverage to a critical switching component in the SAN path. For infrastructure environments carrying production databases, virtualization clusters, and backup traffic, support quality matters as much as hardware capability. This coverage helps accelerate case handling, simplify escalation, and reduce the operational drag that comes with waiting on resolution during business hours. It is a practical fit for organizations standardizing on Cisco storage networking and looking to protect a high-value module with vendor-backed service. Choose this support option when the cost of delay is higher than the cost of coverage. It helps preserve service continuity, supports predictable maintenance planning, and gives procurement a clear path for extending the useful life of the installed platform without overbuying broader coverage than the environment requires.
