Cisco ACI Nexus Data Broker License Term N9K M8/16, 3Y | ACI, Enterprise — C1-N9K-NDB-M816-3Y

Keep ACI traffic intelligence available over a defined 3-year term with Cisco Nexus Data Broker licensing for N9K M8/16 platforms. This software entitlement is built for infrastructure teams that depend on reliable packet access to support monitoring tools, security inspection, and performance analysis across modern data center fabrics. By centralizing traffic distribution through the Nexus Data Broker framework, teams can reduce the friction of tapping live workloads and preserve visibility as environments scale. The result is cleaner operational oversight, faster troubleshooting, and better alignment between network telemetry and the systems that depend on it. This license is a fit for organizations standardizing on Cisco ACI and looking to extend the value of their existing switching investment. It supports a controlled, subscription-based approach to visibility that is easier to plan, renew, and govern than ad hoc tooling. For enterprises where downtime, blind spots, and delayed diagnostics carry real cost, the right visibility layer matters.
