An Introduction to Cisco Refresh: The Smart Choice for Sustainable, High-Quality IT Infrastructure

As IT leaders, the choices you make about your IT infrastructure can significantly impact not only your organisation's performance but also its sustainability goals and bottom line. With technology evolving rapidly, many businesses are in a continuous cycle of upgrading or expanding their infrastructure, so finding the right balance between cost, quality, and environmental responsibility is crucial.

At TIEVA, we're committed to providing our clients with cutting-edge solutions that align with these values. One of the most powerful tools in our arsenal is Cisco Refresh—a service we've been championing for years.

In this article, we highlight the key benefits of Cisco Refresh and explain why working with an authorised Cisco partner like TIEVA ensures you get the most out of your IT investments.

What is Cisco Refresh?

Cisco Refresh is Cisco's official remanufactured product program. It offers a wide range of fully certified, remanufactured Cisco equipment that meets the same stringent quality standards as new products. Whether you're looking to expand your current infrastructure or replace end-of-life equipment, Cisco Refresh provides a reliable, cost-effective alternative without sacrificing quality or performance.

The Key Benefits of Cisco Refresh

Many of our long-standing clients are getting the benefits of certified remanufactured Cisco products. Here’s how:

Highly Competitive Pricing

One of the most compelling reasons to consider Cisco Refresh is the significant cost savings. Remanufactured products are available at highly competitive prices, often heavily discounted compared to the cost of new equipment. This allows IT leaders to stretch their IT budgets further while still acquiring high-performance technology.

   

Support for Sustainability Goals

Cisco Refresh helps IT to play their part in reducing the organisation’s environmental footprint by reusing and recycling products. By choosing remanufactured equipment, you contribute to the circular economy, reduce e-waste, and align your IT strategy with your company's sustainability objectives.

Quick Access to Products

Cisco Refresh offers quick access to a broad selection of products, often faster than waiting for new equipment - especially if you’re facing product shortages or extended lead times. This is particularly beneficial when you need to scale your operations quickly or replace critical equipment in a hurry.

Same Warranty and Support as New Products

Perhaps the most reassuring aspect of Cisco Refresh is that all products come with the same Cisco warranty and support options as new products. This means you get the full backing of Cisco's world-class support infrastructure.

Why Choose TIEVA for Cisco Refresh?

While the benefits of remanufactured equipment are clear, where you source your Cisco products matters just as much. Here's why partnering with TIEVA is the best choice:

1. Authorised Cisco Partner

By purchasing through TIEVA, you are guaranteed the full Cisco warranty and access to Cisco's comprehensive support network. This includes everything from technical assistance to software updates, ensuring that your equipment remains reliable and secure throughout its lifecycle.

2. Avoiding the Risks of the Grey Market

The grey market for second-hand Cisco products can be risky. Equipment from unauthorised sources may be of poor quality, lacking the rigorous testing and certification processes that Cisco applies to its Refresh products. Moreover, grey market purchases do not come with Cisco’s warranty or support, leaving your organisation vulnerable in the event of a failure.

3. Tailored Solutions and Expert Advice

At TIEVA, we go beyond simply supplying products. Our team works closely with you to understand your specific needs and tailor solutions that fit your infrastructure and strategic goals. Additionally, our network engineers are available to support you both on-site and remotely, providing expert assistance with the installation and configuration of your Cisco equipment. 

Make the Smart Choice with Cisco Refresh

Cisco Refresh offers a smart, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for IT leaders looking to optimise their infrastructure. With TIEVA as your trusted partner, you can be confident that you're not only getting top-quality, certified Cisco products but also the support and expertise needed to ensure your IT environment is robust and future-proof.
