Own your tech, end to end.
Acuative's new ITLM practice helps enterprises take full control of their technology — from procurement to responsible retirement. Built on 40 years of network expertise, it shifts your organization from "set it and forget it" to proactive partnership.
"While some things improve with age — fine wine, leather jackets, classic cars — Cisco networking gear often doesn't."
And in 2026, the clock has run out for many enterprise devices.
Many older Cisco models are already out of support or rapidly approaching End of Support (EOS). Once that date passes, critical security patches stop. Bug fixes stop. Cisco TAC assistance stops.
What doesn't stop? Vulnerabilities, compliance risk, and downtime. For organizations running on aging infrastructure, the window to act is closing fast. Acuative's Lifecycle Management Initiative keeps your Cisco environment secure, optimized, and always ahead of the curve.
At or nearing End of Support in 2026.
These widely deployed Cisco products are at or nearing End of Support in 2026. If your network relies on any of these, it's time to act.
Security Vulnerabilities
No patches means unresolved CVEs accumulate — leaving critical gaps for attackers to exploit across your network.
Compliance Risk
Auditors flag unsupported hardware. Running EOS equipment can jeopardize certifications and regulatory standing.
Unplanned Downtime
Without Cisco TAC, resolution times increase significantly when failures occur — at the worst possible moments.
One practice for the whole lifecycle.
