Cisco CNBR-SMI-BS-SIA-5 Microservices Infrastructure, 5Y | Cisco Support — CNBR-SMI-BS-SIA-5

Plan for the full lifecycle of your Cisco microservices infrastructure with a 5-year support entitlement designed for cluster-based environments. This coverage is intended for organizations that need predictable vendor support over a longer operating horizon, especially when platform stability and escalation discipline matter. For infrastructure and procurement teams, the advantage is continuity. A multi-year support term reduces the need to re-evaluate coverage every budget cycle and helps ensure the environment remains backed by Cisco support as the platform evolves. That matters when the cost of a support gap is higher than the cost of keeping the entitlement in place. This support model fits deployments where microservices infrastructure is part of a broader production stack and where teams want a clear support path tied to the cluster rather than individual ad hoc components. It is a practical choice for organizations standardizing on Cisco and looking to protect operational investments over time. Choose this 5-year entitlement when you want long-duration coverage, vendor accountability, and a support structure that matches enterprise planning cycles.
