Product Overview

The Cisco ACI Upgrade License: Essential to Advantage (10G+ Platforms) is a purpose-built software upgrade for Cisco environments utilizing the Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI). Designed for 10G+ capabilities, this license upgrades an existing Essential-level deployment to the more feature-rich Advantage tier, enabling advanced automation, security, and visibility functionalities critical for modern data centers.

This upgrade enables IT teams to leverage enhanced policy control, third-party Layer 4–7 integration, micro-segmentation, and visibility features that are not available in the Essential license. With compliance support such as TAA (Trade Agreements Act), and country-of-origin assurance from the United States, this license suits regulated industries and enterprises requiring a higher assurance of software provenance and supply chain integrity.

Ideal for organizations scaling their data center footprint or planning future-proof infrastructure, this software license allows greater investment leverage on existing hardware while supporting long-term ACI strategic growth.
