Cisco DPX50/X90 Pluggable 8x10G NIC SMS-1K | Fixed License — 95-8X10NIC-SMS-1K

Secure DPX50/X90 connectivity with a fixed SMS-1K licensing model for the pluggable 8x10G NIC. This Cisco option is designed for teams that want clear entitlement from the start, with no need to manage variable licensing decisions during rollout. A fixed license is often the right choice when the deployment scope is known, the network design is settled, and procurement prefers a stable cost structure. For infrastructure teams, that means fewer licensing decisions during implementation and a cleaner path from purchase order to activation. The 8x10G pluggable NIC format supports high-density connectivity planning while the SMS-1K model keeps entitlement simple and consistent. This SKU fits enterprise environments that prioritize repeatability across sites, standardized builds, and predictable budgeting. It is especially useful when the network architecture has already been defined and the goal is to deploy with minimal licensing ambiguity. Choose this option when you want Cisco compatibility, fixed entitlement, and a procurement model that maps cleanly to a known rollout plan.
