Keep CEP-4XX items under maintenance coverage with a two-year software and hardware fee designed for ongoing operational support. This service is intended for environments where platform continuity matters and where software and hardware support must stay aligned across the deployment lifecycle. For procurement and infrastructure teams, the value is straightforward: predictable maintenance coverage, simpler renewal planning, and fewer surprises when support is needed. Rather than treating software and hardware as separate risk pools, this fee structure keeps both under one maintenance model for the CEP-4XX line. This is a practical fit for organizations that already standardize on Certes Networks and need a clear path to preserve support status over a two-year term. It helps protect the installed base and supports budget planning without adding unnecessary complexity.
