Product Overview

The CISCO ACI-UPG-ES-AD-GF= is a software upgrade license that enables customers to elevate their Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) deployment from the Essential (ESS) tier to the Advanced (ADV) tier functionality. Tailored exclusively for 1G platforms, this license provides access to more robust ACI features such as enhanced automation, operational tools, and policy enforcement mechanisms. This supports organizations aiming for optimized network programmability and management at scale.

With its origin in the United States and TAA compliance, the license aligns with procurement standards in government and defense sectors, ensuring it meets regulatory requirements. While specific feature sets included in the upgrade are not detailed, transitioning to the Advanced tier typically delivers more granular control over fabric operations, visibility, and integration with higher-level orchestration systems.

This upgrade is essential for enterprises looking to maximize the ROI of their ACI fabric by enabling premium features without replacing existing 1G infrastructure. It ensures a smooth path for extending system capabilities as business needs evolve, making it a cost-effective upgrade strategy.
