Cisco warranty expired or expiring?

After the factory warranty ends, the extension from the vendor often becomes considerably more expensive, and for older models it is no longer offered at all. TechCare keeps Cisco systems under maintenance with the same SLA up to 24×7×4, typically 30–70 % below the vendor price, even after end of support.
