CISCO Maintenance

Genuine Cisco support for risk reduction. Third-party maintenance for fast fixes on legacy platforms.

Baby Blue IT & Consulting provides UK-based Cisco networking maintenance and support services for enterprise, public sector, and regulated organisations running Cisco switches, routers, data-centre networking, and security appliances.

Our approach is lifecycle-aligned:

• Current Cisco platforms → risk reduction through genuine Cisco firmware, software and security patching
• Older Cisco platforms → operational stability through rapid third-party hardware replacement and proven fixes

Customers can consume OEM Cisco support, third-party maintenance (TPM), or a hybrid model, all under one Baby Blue contract.
