Cisco CNB SMI Per Cluster Basic SIA 7Y | Cloud Licensing — CNBR-SMI-BS-SIA-7

Support microservices infrastructure with a Cisco subscription model built around cluster-level licensing and a 7-year term. CNB Sub Microsvcs Infrastruc (SMI), Per Clustr Basc SIA, 7y is structured for organizations that want to keep entitlement management tied to the cluster rather than to fragmented component counts. That matters when infrastructure teams are balancing service continuity, procurement discipline, and multi-year platform planning. A per-cluster model gives architects a clearer way to align licensing with the actual deployment unit, while the 7-year term reduces the administrative overhead of frequent renewals. For environments that depend on Cisco service assurance and a stable microservices foundation, the result is a more predictable operating posture. This license is a strong fit for enterprise programs standardizing on Cisco-managed infrastructure where cluster scope is the right commercial boundary. It helps procurement teams forecast spend more accurately and gives technical teams a cleaner entitlement structure to maintain over time. When the deployment is measured in clusters, not loose instances, this model keeps licensing aligned with how the platform is actually run. Ideal For Cluster-based microservices platform licensing Cisco-managed infrastructure with service assurance requirements Enterprise procurement for multi-year platform coverage Standardized entitlement management across clustered deployments Why This Product 1 Per-cluster model matches deployment boundaries 2 7-year term supports long-range planning 3 Cisco service assurance aligns with infrastructure operations 4 Subscription structure simplifies entitlement management
