Why Choose Cisco Refresh?

Cost-Effectiveness

Cisco Refresh products are typically lower in price than new equipment, allowing organisations, especially small to medium-sized businesses, to save on hardware costs while still accessing high-quality Cisco technology.

Certified Quality

Each product undergoes extensive refurbishment and testing to meet Cisco’s performance standards and comes with a one-year warranty for added peace of mind.

Access to Legacy Equipment

The program includes refurbished equipment that is no longer in production, making it easier for businesses to replace obsolete hardware without immediate upgrades.

Sustainability

Purchasing refurbished equipment supports sustainability by reducing electronic waste and extending the lifecycle of technology, which is increasingly important for environmentally conscious companies.

When To Choose Cisco Refresh

When choosing the right networking solution for your organisation, it’s essential to assess your specific needs against the strengths of various providers. Cisco, as a leading name in the networking space, offers robust solutions through its Cisco Refresh program. Understanding how Cisco Refresh compares to brand new and refurbished can help you make an informed decision that best suits your business requirements. With its certified pre-owned equipment, Cisco Refresh provides a unique blend of quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness that sets it apart in the market.

CISCO REFRESH VS CISCO (NEW)

Cisco Refresh offers remanufactured Cisco equipment at a lower cost, providing a great balance of affordability and performance. These products undergo a strict refurbishment process and come with the same warranty and support as new Cisco hardware. Cisco New, however, ensures the latest technology and innovations, often with enhanced features or newer models. If you need cutting-edge performance and are focused on the latest technology, Cisco New is the better choice. But if you’re looking to optimize your IT budget without sacrificing quality or support, Cisco Refresh offers a cost-effective alternative, especially for established Cisco networks.

CISCO REFRESH VS CISCO REFURBISHED

Yes, there’s a difference! Cisco Refresh is Cisco’s official remanufactured equipment program, where used hardware is rigorously tested, upgraded, and certified by Cisco. These products come with the same warranty and support as new Cisco items, ensuring they meet strict performance and quality standards. On the other hand, Cisco Refurbished could refer to third-party refurbished Cisco products that may not be processed or certified by Cisco itself. Cisco Refresh is generally a safer option since it provides verified, like-new products with the full backing of Cisco, while third-party refurbished equipment may come with limited warranties or support, making it less reliable for mission-critical environments.
