Cisco 8000 Series Data Center SW RTU 100G | Data Center Licensing — DC-C-100G-RTU

Expand 100G capability on Cisco 8000 Series data center infrastructure with a right-to-use software entitlement designed for controlled capacity growth. This licensing model helps teams enable the required throughput without overbuying hardware features they may not need on day one. For infrastructure groups managing phased rollouts, the 100G RTU approach supports cleaner budget planning and faster activation across qualifying Cisco 8000 Series deployments. It is well suited to environments where port speed, fabric density, and upgrade timing must stay aligned with operational demand. Because this is a software entitlement rather than a physical component, it fits procurement workflows that separate platform acquisition from feature activation. That makes it easier to standardize purchasing, preserve deployment flexibility, and scale in step with network requirements.
