Cisco bundles SMARTnet support with your hardware initially at the time of purchase, and these contracts are typically structured for 1-3 years. Once Cisco’s initial SMARTnet contract ends, your maintenance costs will skyrocket.
Similarly to the cost to renew manufacturer support on older equipment, it is substantially higher than the cost to support new hardware.
It might make sense on the surface – older equipment is more likely to have some problems than hardware that was just taken out of the box. However, what manufacturers don’t want you to know is that it actually costs Cisco less to maintain your equipment the longer it is on the market.
This is because spare parts become more abundant and engineering expertise less scarce. Cisco treats SMARTnet more as an insurance policy than a maintenance plan.
So when your equipment is more likely to require support, the manufacturer chooses to intimidate you into buying new hardware.
