Cisco DCN Storage License Term N9500 Modular M4/M8/M16, 7Y | Enterprise Licensing — C1-N9K-STRG-M-7Y

Extend storage licensing coverage across Cisco N9500 modular M4, M8, and M16 environments with a 7-year term designed for long-range infrastructure planning. This license supports organizations that standardize on the N9500 platform and want to keep storage capabilities aligned with multi-year refresh cycles, budget controls, and operational continuity. A term-based model helps procurement teams lock in coverage for the intended planning horizon while reducing the friction of annual renewals. For infrastructure leaders, it provides a clear path to maintain licensed functionality across modular deployments without introducing uncertainty into capacity or support planning. This is a practical fit for enterprise environments where storage services must remain consistent across the lifecycle of the platform. It is especially useful when the goal is to preserve operational predictability, simplify asset governance, and avoid gaps in licensed capability as systems remain in service.
