Because of the locations these switches were being placed into, we did not purchase the premium support. They are not placed in areas that are considered critical. We have spare gear in inventory that we will simply swap out and resolve the issue at a later date. It is a more affordable solution for us regarding the time to resolve a problem.

We currently carry Cisco SmartNet on all of our devices. The reason we do this is for warranty replacement if hardware was to die. The other reason is for TAC support if we are to run into an issue that we can't resolve ourselves. Having SmartNet on the devices gives us that security blanket in the event of a service interruption issue and we need help immediately!

For some of the items we use we pay for 24/7 support -- these items are usually part of a critical system (backbone, core, etc). We purchase the support to ensure that if there is a serious issue that we can get it fixed/replaced within a few hours. Otherwise we tend to rely on the standard support contracts.
