Cisco Cloud Hosted Shared Controllers for 50 Edges Sub | Cloud Licensing — E2N-SDWN-SH-C-SAIE

Keep 50 edge locations aligned under one cloud-hosted control model. Cisco Cloud Hosted Shared Controllers for 50 Edges Sub (SAIE) - EA gives infrastructure teams a subscription-based way to manage distributed sites with consistent policy and centralized oversight. It is built for organizations that want tighter operational control without deploying and maintaining separate controller infrastructure at every edge. This licensing model fits environments where standardization matters: retail branches, remote offices, campus extensions, and other distributed deployments that need predictable administration at scale. By moving controller hosting into the cloud, teams reduce local complexity while preserving the control needed to enforce configuration, maintain visibility, and support expansion. For procurement and architecture teams, the value is in the operating model. An EA subscription supports planning, budgeting, and lifecycle management with fewer moving parts than traditional on-premises controller deployments. The result is a cleaner path to consistent edge operations across a 50-site footprint. Ideal For Managing 50 retail branches under a single control framework Standardizing policy across distributed enterprise edge sites Reducing on-premises controller footprint in branch deployments Supporting centralized operations for remote office networks Why This Product 1 Cloud-hosted control instead of site-by-site controller deployment 2 Subscription licensing through Cisco Enterprise Agreement 3 Sized for 50 edge locations 4 Better fit for distributed operations than ad hoc controller purchases
