Called NetSure, this hardware maintenance program provides around-the-clock technical support with next-day hardware replacement. So, is there any benefit to safeguarding previous generation and end-of-life gear or should restricted maintenance budgets be focused only on the most mission-critical areas? Adding to the support conundrum is the fact that the leading manufacturers of networking equipment constantly accelerate timetables on product updates and introductions, leading to vendor-forced, often premature, equipment upgrades.Īs the world’s leading source for preowned networking equipment, Curvature viewed this reality so often that it became readily apparent an alternative to standard OEM maintenance contracts could deliver much-needed relief. OEMs’ maintenance contracts are extremely pricey - sometimes costing more than the actual equipment that’s being protected. As a result, it’s become common practice to keep only core network elements under OEM maintenance contracts while leaving equipment on the network edge exposed and vulnerable to risk. Recent industry reports reveal continued cost-cutting and slowed IT investments that make it increasingly difficult to protect all business-critical network elements, especially networks with dispersed locations. The growing reality of constrained IT budgets, however, is that many IT managers have to pick and choose where to spend their limited dollars while constantly looking for new ways to solve old problems. The rising costs of maintaining vital corporate networks is forcing more and more organizations to gamble on how much protection they realistically can provide for what is arguably one of the most crucial aspects of any business.
