HPE Aruba 1820-48G Foundation Care 1 Year NBD Exchange

Keep your access switch deployment covered with HPE Aruba Foundation Care for the 1820-48G and 1820-48G-PoE+ (370 W) models. This 1-year service is built for teams that need fast hardware recovery without tying up staff in depot repair workflows. When a covered unit fails, next business day exchange support helps move replacement hardware into the environment quickly, limiting disruption to user connectivity, edge devices, and downstream services. Foundation Care is a practical fit for branch offices, small campus closets, and distributed sites where switch uptime matters but on-site spares are not always economical. The service is centered on replacement support through a service depot model, giving you a defined path to restore the switch and keep the network moving. For infrastructure teams, that means less time managing failure response and more confidence in the support window behind the hardware. Choose this service when the cost of downtime exceeds the cost of coverage. It adds a clear recovery process to a proven access switch platform, helping protect the network edge with predictable service terms and vendor-backed exchange handling.
