Finding the right Extreme vendor

Post #1 of 3 (1924 views)

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a vendor (or had experience with) they
would recommend who could repair extreme switches or replace parts like
power switches/plugs?

I am asking because I have several switches we are playing with as we are a
Cisco shop but slowly moving over to the purple. I was looking at getting a
maintenance contract to get the latest firmware/software. Aside from that I
used a vendor before to replace a 16101 we had. The switch was just sitting
on the shelf in the storage room so I decided to get fixed. This particular
vendor has had my switch since end of 2nd quarter or so. I want to find a
vendor who is trusted as I thought they were, considering we bought a 16101
from them in 08 without a problem and just wanted to use their repair
service for the one replaced.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I would recommend Vology Data Systems "www.vds.com" (Eric Wey
813-349-6860) we have used them for several years excellent service and
garantee on extreme products.

Our core network is all extreme Black Diamond and 90% of our edge
switches as well.

Michel,

We have not used/purchased from VDS before but have had them quote us, they
were much so very professional. I will bump them up on our list now.

Thank you!
