This 1-year service plan offers reliable, predictable support tailored to classroom environments, enabling educators to focus on teaching and hands-on experimentation rather than device downtime.

• Industry-grade reliability for classroom networks: This Extended Service delivers 9x5 professional support with Next Business Day (NBD) response, ensuring rapid attention to hardware concerns that can interrupt lessons, lab exercises, or capstone projects. By reducing reaction time to incidents, instructors can maintain consistent lab schedules, minimize disruptions to coursework, and keep student labs aligned with the syllabus and assessments.

• End-to-end parts replacement to protect investments: The Extended Service includes comprehensive parts replacement across the life of the 1-year term. That means key switches, controllers, transceivers, and other essential hardware used in classroom networks can be swapped out to sustain high reliability, reduce maintenance surprises, and preserve investment value as technologies evolve within the curriculum.
• Physical protection and predictable budgeting: Beyond repair services, the plan provides a shield against unexpected capital expenditures. Schools gain budget predictability with clearly defined service terms, allowing procurement and IT administrators to plan for ongoing labs, vendor partnerships, and future program expansions without sudden cost shocks.
• Educational-program optimized design: The ExtremeWorks Educational Program Advanced is purpose-built for education labs, certification tracks, and student-friendly deployments.
