John McHugh, Nortel’s vice president for data solutions, recently responded to an article on SearchNetworking.com that he felt under valued Nortel’s enterprise business and product line.

I believe it was John McHugh that also suggested resurrecting the Bay Networks name.

Nortel Lifetime Stackable ERS Warranty

Nortel has announced that it is extending the warranty service on it’s entire line of stackable Ethernet Routing Switches to include next-business-day replacement. This is only available on purchases made after July 1, 2009. Nortel already had a lifetime hardware warranty in place that required you to return any defective units for depot service which would generally take about 10 business days.

There are quite a few vendors now including lifetime hardware replacement on their products although I’m not sure many of them are offering advanced next-business-day replacements.

You can read all about it over at Nortel’s website.

Cheers!
