Branners Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Im trying to find a reliable Cisco reseller so we can buy some new switches for work. I need a company that is reliable and that can provide all the aftermarket support on the cisco gear as well as general network support. Any suggestions?

DaveN Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 This is my world (as others I guess), where are the cisco switches to be located and what Service Level will you need for ongoing support. Are they mission critical, do you need hot swap/gold loan stock bla blah. Let me know what you need and I can happily recomend a Cisco Partner best for capability, price and/or support engineer locations.

Pete Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Doesn't Pete supply these? Yup! (Thanks Col) We're official registered UK Cisco Partners (Resellers). They're really keen to develop a strong relationship with us at the moment and visiting us once a month to help strengthen their brand in our business. Give me a bell at work on 01952 588688 We're also accredited IBM and HP resellers, MS (of course) and all the major hardware players. (Seagate, MSI, Abit, 3Com, HP, Intel, AMD yada yada) Dell do us exceptional pricing too so we're in a position where we supply their kit at the same price they do (or slightly less) - BUT we take out the hassle of dealing with their idiot sales people and can configure their servers how you want before you receive them. (Hope I've not overstepped my pimping here to our club lord and master ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Azlan is a good supplier, however if you let me know where you are located, I can asked Cisco directly for you to find out who the local supplier is in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something odd on the Cisco site (other than all the usual oddness) - I tried searching for partners by area "Shropshire" for us and we didn't turn up. Searching by name and we did. I'll have to talk to Heena Lad about it I think. To be fair, the site has become much easier of recent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Azlan is a good supplier, They're a distributer, not a reseller. I believe they shouldn't sell to non resellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
