柏苑五金保养


帕克 2022年4月6日

Cisco SMARTnet maintenance (or “SmartNet Total Care)” is the brand name for the company’s support offering. 与许多其他原始设备制造商一样,他们的定义在某种程度上是一个移动的目标.

最近,SMARTnet和SMARTnet全面护理 结合现在,它的名字是(再一次,或者仍然是)SMARTnet. 也可能是 SmartNetOn网站 如果你喜欢一些附加组件. 如果你想吹毛求疵的话, 2014年及之前的文件将其拼写为SMARTnet, 但在2015年改变为 智能网络. 还有 智能辅助, which is not so much support as a consultative service for driving SMARTnet more deeply into the IT organization.

困惑然而?

在这种混乱之上, as soon as Cisco senses a client is considering other support options beyond what they offer, 他们将开始散布虚假信息来制造恐惧, 不确定性, (怀疑)tpm提供的Services. 的y may raise points that 客户 can’t be sure where our parts are sourced and how they’ll perform, or that we will claim to be able to install 软件 updates on your equipment.

的 marketing gurus in charge of this tangled naming scheme and the FUD slinging sales teams may disagree, 但我们相信 最直接的IT维护是最好的. 的 quality of your SMARTnet maintenance contract isn’t dependent on a spiffy moniker that changes every few years. Clients benefit from service packages they can easily understand and customize to their own needs. For that, plus 监控ing and management of your network— look to Park Place Technologies.
