We've also been seeing large delays with various Cisco ASA models and ended buying up as many as we could from any vendor that could get them in stock. We were being told it was due to a materials shortage on Cisco's end.

They've had this problem across many product lines for over a year now (4900, 6500, ASA, Nexus, 3560s, etc). We keep hearing that management is working on it. Unfortunately, we've already had a few customers that can't tolerate 4 months lead time, canceled orders and went with the competition. tv ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Bacon" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2010 9:39 AM Subject: [c-nsp] Cisco out of stock? > Word I keep running across is that Cisco is basically out of everything > that matters: > - there are no 6503 or 6504 chassis to be had without significant > waiting - it took a month and change for my guy to find 2 6504s, and I'm > very tempted to swap out a pair of 6503s (which would be foolish on my > part really) > - there are 7 6524s in stock in the entire world > - if you need an AC power supply for said 6524, God help you (mine came > in from Germany) > - 4900s are still going like hotcakes when you can find them > - my VAR is literally custom-machining rack-mount brackets for a 6504-E > chassis for me because there are none to be purchased anywhere in the > world and Cisco says June minimum > > OK so they've been caught unawares by the downturn/upturn, they cut back > on inventory and expected demand forecasts and now they're screwed, but > ye criminy! > > Is this the normal experience out there nowadays? > > > _______________________________________________ > cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] > https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp > archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
