Size and Substance Matter with Used Networking Equipment

By: Lauren Stevens

Size makes a difference in the used Cisco equipment market as by and large solely the leading sources of refurbished computer networking gear, including previously-owned routers and switches, are capable of stocking satisfactory inventory to fill virtually any item request.

In the previously-owned Cisco gear market, stores are driven largely by existing market demand, so the largest vendors of restored Cisco gear will support vast capital and contacts to be able to get hold of stock of the most important models. At the high end, pre-owned Cisco network equipment dealers carry up to $100 million in used Cisco gear, ensuring that the most in-demand as well as hard-to-find used Cisco gear are able to be obtained and ready to send off in a couple of days.

Thus, a growing number of corporations are considering the previously-owned Cisco network market as a main alternative when needed Cisco equipment cannot be obtained simply or speedily from the usual retailers. Usually, manufacturers stock a small amount of replacement gear for the original gear included by their maintenance agreements, while keeping quantity stock of only the newly-released equipment. As a result, unearthing previously-owned network gear to substitute for current gear or fulfill spare-part requirements is a prolonged and - every so often - fruitless attempt.

If time is in short supply, many organizations go for equipment replacement plans from their network equipment dealers. However, assuring expedited transport of emergency substitute gear entails a high cost as manufacturers and their authorized resellers can charge 15 percent or more of an organization’s total networking equipment purchases each year for the rapid-response service. In addition, expensive “next day” shipping agreements often times take as long as 72 hours until the network gear is shipped, unpacked, installed and configured.

Pricey OEM premiums aside, it essentially comes down to avoiding a sole point of breakdown in networking equipment acquisition. Through the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, network managers learned first-hand the inherent troubles of counting on only a solitary equipment vendor. Best-selling network equipment were in such great demand that manufacturers’ stock reached an extreme shortage, as much networking gear was routed to their best customers, leaving the less fortunate without resources.

When searching for options, a lot of enterprises have learned about the refurbished network equipment market and found established, reputable, viable pre-owned network equipment suppliers. For instance, Network Hardware Resale trades pre-owned Cisco equipment and has stock of over 100 million dollars. These used Cisco equipment organizations have worldwide footprints and well-established associations with a varied combination of tier-one companies and service vendors.

This new environment is helping adjust the viewpoint that just small- to mid-sized corporations obtain previously-owned computer network equipment. In contrast, global 1000 corporations and a good number of the most well-known brands around the world acquire used Cisco gear. After all, when a company of any kind or magnitude has a dire need for network gear, when every minute matters, they are very likely to trust the most dependable and responsive vendor for keeping their critical networks running like clockwork.
