Cisco Excess Program

The Cisco Excess Programme refers to the distribution of surplus genuine Cisco hardware originating, for example, from excess inventory within the supply chain. The equipment is unused and is offered as Cisco Excess Equipment through designated sales channels. For IT procurement teams, this can provide an additional sourcing option for selected Cisco products at competitive conditions. The excess market can be particularly relevant when expanding existing IT infrastructures or sourcing older and difficult-to-find product generations. When purchasing Cisco Excess Equipment, organisations should verify the origin, condition and serial numbers of the hardware as well as the applicable warranty and support terms, as these may differ from new equipment purchased through standard Cisco distribution channels.
