Cisco 8000 Series Data Center SW Right-to-Use 100G | Open, Enterprise — DC-O-100G-RTU

Expand Cisco 8000 Series data center capacity with a right-to-use 100G software license built for controlled, hardware-aligned growth. This open licensing model is suited for teams that need to enable additional throughput without replacing infrastructure or introducing unnecessary complexity into procurement and deployment workflows. Right-to-use licensing gives network and infrastructure teams a direct path to activate the capacity they already planned for, while keeping spend tied to actual demand. That matters in environments where bandwidth requirements change faster than hardware refresh cycles. Instead of overbuying ports or waiting on a platform swap, you can provision 100G capability where it is needed and keep the network aligned to application growth. This model is a strong fit for enterprise data centers that value predictable expansion, cleaner asset management, and vendor-backed licensing clarity. It is especially useful when standardizing on Cisco 8000 Series platforms and when procurement teams need a software entitlement that maps cleanly to a specific capacity tier. For organizations balancing performance, budget discipline, and operational control, this license helps preserve both speed and structure.
