alternative that was attractively priced and suited all of our network maintenance and support needs.

Whenever I call the NetSure™ support line, I speak directly with an experienced engineer who’s going to

be the one to ultimately help me. And within minutes, we are exchanging emails to help address and solve my

problem. The Network Hardware Resale team always goes above and beyond to meet my needs as quickly as

possible, and I feel like I’m treated like a king.

Extend Equipment LifeManufacturers often announce product end-of-life (EoL) long before equipment upgrade or replacement is necessary. NetSure’s full support of current- and previous-generation equipment (for as long as you own it) puts the control of your network refreshes and upgrades back in your hands.

Protect Your EdgeHigh costs of traditional OEM maintenance force many organizations to focus resources only on the core, leaving edge routers and remote offices vulnerable.

NetSure™ offers the flexibility to protect your edge while maintaining OEM core network coverage. NetSure’s affordable pricing, global technical support, and quick delivery time allows you to protect your entire network, leaving nothing to chance.

Customize Your Coverage NetSure™ offers flexible, full coverage customized for your networking needs. With comprehensive contract options and modular pricing structures, NetSure™ enables you to build a network maintenance plan that best fits your budget and network requirements.
