About Cistor

Built to be the partner you can count on.

Honest design, real supply chain ownership, and a team that's still here long after go-live.

We started Cistor to be the supply chain partner customers can always trust.

Designing networks properly, sourcing hardware honestly, and staying on the account long after go-live. That's the whole job, start to finish, whether it's one switch or a global rollout.

Our Story

A team of Cisco engineers who set out to do it properly.

2008

Founded to bring design and supply chain together.

Design and supply chain are usually handled separately. Cistor set out to bring both together, working alongside the partners and teams our customers already trust.

Cisco Partner

From supplying kit to delivering outcomes.

Partner status meant full-estate coverage, not a single product line - and design and delivery working hand in hand, so the plan on paper is the network that goes live.

Global Delivery

The same service, wherever the sites are.

Forecasting demand and pre-staging stock so clients get precisely what they need, precisely when they need it. For over 15 years that has meant delivering Cisco solutions to COLT globally, buffering against lead-time and cost fluctuations.

Today

Certainty from purchase order to go-live.

That part hasn't changed since day one - honest advice, predictable pricing and lead times, and a delivery plan you can rely on from purchase order to go-live.

Anthony, Cistor founder
Our Founder

Meet the man who started it all.

Anthony started Cistor in 2008 to break the industry's habit of throwing hardware away long before it needed replacing.

A longer life for existing technology beats a three-year replacement cycle - that's the idea behind everything Circularity First does, and it's part of why Cistor is a Cisco Circular Economy Partner. Anthony's spent well over a decade putting it into practice across Europe, the US and Asia, work that's since been recognised with a techUK Planet Award.

He still gets most animated talking about the same thing that started it all: making sure good hardware doesn't end up as landfill just because a lease ran out.
