- Cisco: Please be advised that Cisco has announced a hardware price adjustment effective February 14, 2026, primarily due to rising global costs for memory components. As the demand for AI infrastructure continues to strain the global supply of specialized memory, Cisco and other major vendors are adjusting hardware pricing to reflect these increased component costs. Contact your account manager for a personalized strategy session to mitigate these impacts on your 2026 budget. The increase is largely attributed to a global shortage and “skyrocketing” costs of system memory driven by the AI data center boom. While hardware – particularly networking appliances and UCS products – is the primary focus, associated technical services may also see nominal adjustments. Your orders are not price-protected until it ships.
