Cisco is the backbone of enterprise networking and a major force in security. We help clients design and secure infrastructure built on it.
Official Cisco partner, and an independent adviser
Cisco spans enterprise and data centre networking (Catalyst and Nexus), security (Secure, Umbrella and Duo), compute (UCS) and collaboration, with a growing focus on observability and zero trust.
Most enterprises run on Cisco somewhere. We partner so we can help clients modernise networks, adopt zero trust and tie networking and security together, drawing on Cisco where it fits the design rather than because a quota says so.
Cisco is rarely the wrong answer on capability, and rarely the cheapest. Its strength is breadth that almost no one matches: Catalyst and Nexus for the network, Secure, Umbrella and Duo for security, UCS for compute, and a genuine zero trust story across all of it. The cost of that breadth is complexity and price. Smart Licensing, overlapping product lines and a tendency to be sold the full stack mean it is easy to buy more than you will ever use. That is where we come in. We design the network and security together, map a realistic path to zero trust, and right size what you actually need before a quote is signed. As an official Cisco partner we can source, implement and support it. As an independent adviser, we will tell you where a leaner design, or another vendor, serves you better.
Yes. C4C Group is an official Cisco partner, so we can source, implement and support Cisco for you, not only advise on it. The partnership is genuine and active, which means you get one accountable team for the technology and the commercials.
Yes, and the two work together. We hold official partnerships across many vendors rather than being tied to one, so we recommend what genuinely fits your needs and tell you honestly when Cisco is not the right answer. Our independence is in the recommendation, our partnership is in the delivery and support.
No. We partner with technologies we have tested and trust, but we stay vendor neutral. If something outside our partnerships is the better fit for you, we will say so. A C4C recommendation is based on your needs and your numbers, not on a quota.
Often you are overbuying. Cisco is frequently sold as an end to end stack when only parts of it earn their place in your design. We map what your network and security actually require, separate the components that genuinely add value from the ones bundled in for completeness, and right size the licensing. The aim is a design that fits, not the largest configuration the quote allows.
Yes. Zero trust is a design and a programme, not a product you switch on. We help you sequence it sensibly, identity and access first with Duo, then segmentation across Catalyst and Nexus, then visibility and policy using Umbrella and Secure where they fit. We are honest about what is a quick win and what is a longer change, and where existing Microsoft or other controls already cover part of the ground.
We will give you an independent, vendor neutral view on whether it fits, and help you buy and run it well. No quota, no preferred vendor.
