The Cistor Difference

Cisco specialist expertise, commercial certainty and global delivery, built for the real world, not the sales deck.

Cisco Specialist Partnership

Specialist expertise, Cisco-backed.

Practical design expertise backed by a direct Cisco partnership, turning technology vision into a resilient, scalable network.

Faster Commercial Certainty

Commercial certainty, shorter lead times.

Shorter lead times and faster service activation, with commercial certainty built around your own rollout plan.

Delivered Internationally

Global delivery, wherever needed.

The same design, supply-chain and delivery capability extended across borders, wherever your rollout plan takes you.

Sustainability

A commercial lever, not a box-ticking exercise.

Measure and reduce energy costs and carbon emissions by up to 60%, diversify supply chains and cut eWaste through circular economy programmes and remanufactured Cisco portfolios.

How We Work

We've got your Cisco environment covered.

Our engineers hold decades of combined experience across supply chain, deployment and lifecycle support, helping you avoid delays, close gaps, and keep a clear line from purchase order to delivery.

FAQs

Answers to (almost) all your Cisco infrastructure questions.

Server room infrastructureNetwork switch close-up

Send us your requirements or book a call. Once your scope and purchase order are confirmed, we get to work on sourcing and design straight away.

We support clients globally, covering supply chain and lifecycle needs wherever your network lives.

As a Cisco Partner we cover the full Cisco estate, from switching and routing to collaboration, security and data centre platforms, both new and Cisco Refresh.

Before recommending a replacement, we assess what you already own for optimisation and extension opportunities, so you only replace what genuinely needs it.

It depends on scope and hardware availability, but our supply chain model is built to compress lead times well below industry standard. We'll give you a firm date at quote stage.

Yes. Ongoing lifecycle support, spares cover and proactive monitoring are core to how we work, not an optional add-on after the project ends.
