Advanced Technical
Support Services (TAC)

Cost-Effective TAC for
Legacy Networks

Protect and extend the life of your network with legacy services designed for products likely out of warranty and past OEM support. Acting as the insurance your network needs, we offer full-spectrum support — from Emergency Recovery (ER) to TAC ticket handling — along with assurance and operational measures. No matter where you are on the lifecycle curve, our professional services provide reliable support to keep your network performing optimally.

Challenge

Reduce operating expense on annual technical support and emergency restoration contracts without sacrificing technical competence on end-of- life or legacy infrastructure.

Solution

Ensure your legacy network’s reliability with expert support designed to tackle hardware, software, and configuration challenges.

U.S.-based subject matter experts offer remote assistance for product questions, troubleshooting, incident resolution, and emergency outage recovery — all at a low cost of ownership to keep your network performing optimally. Annual TAC support programs are tailored to your network’s specific needs, based on ticket volumes and SLAs, and utilize best practices to maintain stability on mature software platforms.
