Why Cisco Refresh?


Cisco Refresh is an initiative by Cisco (evolving from the Cisco Certified Refurbished Equipment program) to extend the life of Cisco equipment through re-manufacturing and be environmentally responsible by lessening e-waste and energy usage in manufacturing; and allow customers to get the value of Cisco products at significant savings with fully Certified Re-manufactured equipment when buying new is not an option or not the best option for them.

Melbourne Global Systems are proud to be working with Cisco in this effort to maximise the use of Cisco equipment and increase availability and viability of Cisco equipment for you as you meet your budget. 

Maximise your budget and reduce cost of ownership 

Take advantage of the competitive pricing on offer with Cisco Refresh with savings of 25-70% off the original price of Cisco equipment, with no hidden costs.

The tangible benefits to your business go beyond just significant cost savings…

Increase Selection and Lower Risk

Choose from Cisco’s extensive inventory of over 4000 different active and end-of-sale (no longer available new but with at least one year of support available) products, across the entire product line and remanufactured with Cisco warranty and Cisco SMARTnet support options.  This includes collaboration phones and endpoints, routers and switches, wireless and mobility products and security solutions.  Check our warranty options

Buy from who you trust

Buying from Cisco Refresh and MGS means you are purchasing from a certified Australian owned and operated Cisco Refresh reseller - to have certified Cisco Refresh products available to buy with financing options, ensuring you acquire genuine Cisco products and have access to the technical support you may require.  Ensure your Cisco product is eligible for Cisco IOS software licensing, warranty and support.   

Why Cisco refresh might be right for you?

Constrained budget

With Cisco Refresh, Cisco provides maximum flexibility in procuring the technology you need with the same performance, quality, certified protection and provided support that you would expect when procuring new Cisco products.

Often businesses are not in the position financially or otherwise to deal with the implications of transitioning to a new infrastructure and therefore they may be standardized to their current setup and need to sustain or scale up by using compatible hardware that is not necessarily the latest/newest Cisco product. The specific Cisco product they require may be discontinued and no longer available as new from Cisco. The Cisco Certified Refurbished Equipment Program/Cisco Refresh maintains a large inventory of end of sale SKU’s to support these established networks and business needs. 

Product Availability

In business cases when more immediate delivery is required, Cisco Refresh equipment may be the alternative option that ensures that you have the equipment in your hands.  Especially at times when the new Cisco product is on back order or has a long lead time that doesn’t quite meet the target delivery date of the business, Cisco Refresh products generally ship within 24 hours and may even ship as soon the same day it is ordered.  We can meet your time constraints and deliver within 24 hours, even better for you, buy from us before 5pm and we can arrange same-day delivery.

Compliance with corporate green initiatives

To comply with your corporate initiatives to reduce impacts to the environment, a remanufactured unit is worth considering to extend the useful life of Cisco equipment.  By lessening the accumulated energy that goes into manufacturing of products we can reduce our carbon footprint and by extending the product life we can effectively reduce the rate of electronic equipment that ends up in landfill.

Whether you are designing, implementing, or maintaining IT infrastructure for your business, be sure you evaluate all the options available to maximise performance, reduce overall cost and expand budget, while protecting critical network operations.  Consider a solution including Cisco Refresh for the best and most cost-effective benefits of quality, performance, and value.

All remanufactured products are sold by Cisco and MGS and carry the Refresh label.
