Protect critical control-plane operations with Cisco ESC-CP1M-VA-3Y, a 3-year support entitlement for Value Plus virtual platform software with 1M session coverage. This offering is designed for organizations that need dependable vendor-backed support over a defined term, without adding complexity to procurement or lifecycle planning. For infrastructure teams, the value is straightforward: preserve service continuity, reduce uncertainty during incidents, and keep a clear support path aligned to the software already in place. The 3-year coverage window helps standardize budgeting and renewal planning, while the 1M session scope aligns the entitlement to the intended deployment profile.

This entitlement fits that model by giving IT teams a formal support structure for operational environments that cannot afford ambiguity. It is a practical choice for organizations that want to keep control-plane software under active vendor support across a multi-year planning cycle.
