With nine Cisco-Certified personnel (CSE, CCNA, CCDA, CSEP, CCNP, CCDP, CCSP), Wintek can select, configure, and install Cisco routers, Cisco PIX and ASA firewalls, Cisco Catalyst switches, Cisco Unified Communications telephone systems, and Cisco Aironet wireless networking equipment.
In our Internet Service Provider business, we had the opportunity to configure and maintain networking equipment from many of the leading manufacturers, including Cisco, Ascend, Livingston, Motorola, 3Com, Netgear, Lucent, and Hewlett Packard. With that experience, the choice of which brand or brands to recommend to our customers was easy.
Our Cisco equipment was the easiest to configure, was the most reliable, had the best collection of features, and had the best customer support, all by a very wide margin. With Wintek's reputation attached to the equipment we recommend and install, we chose to focus on products from Cisco Systems. It is a decision that we have never regretted.
You can buy competitor's equipment with a lower initial purchase price, but the total cost of ownership, including purchase, installation, configuration, maintenance, downtime and useful lifetime usually makes the Cisco choice a better bargain. Wintek routinely has Cisco equipment with uptimes in excess of two years!
