Is your network due for a refresh?
Five quick questions — equipment age, warranty cover, day-to-day friction and what's coming next — and you'll know whether now is the time. Free, no sign-up.
Current
Recent equipment, full support cover and no big changes coming — there’s no case for spending money now. The smart move is light housekeeping so the eventual refresh is planned rather than forced.
-
Track warranty and end-of-life dates
A simple list with dates turns a future surprise into a budget line.
-
Revisit this check yearly
Equipment ages predictably — the answer will change, and you’ll see it coming.
-
Capture growth early
If headcount or sites start growing, capacity planning belongs in the same conversation.
Due soon
Parts of the estate are ageing out of support or showing daily friction. Nothing is on fire — which is exactly the right moment to plan: a refresh chosen on your schedule costs meaningfully less than one forced by a failure.
-
Budget it for the next financial year
Get the number on the table now, while the timeline is yours to choose.
-
Ride any office changes
A move or renovation is the cheapest moment to recable and replace — combining them saves real money.
-
Design before you buy
A short assessment of what you actually need prevents paying for capacity in the wrong places.
Overdue
End-of-life equipment, no vendor support, daily slowdowns — the network is running on borrowed time, and unsupported gear also means unpatched security holes. The goal now is replacing it in a controlled way before a failure does it for you.
-
List the end-of-life items first
Rank by risk: what fails worst, and what no longer gets security patches.
-
Phase the replacement
Core first, then edge — spreading the work controls both cost and disruption.
-
Fix the design, not just the boxes
A refresh is the moment to correct segmentation, capacity and cabling — not replicate old problems on new hardware.
