Cisco Identity Services Engine VM License | Virtual Appliance, Enterprise — R-ISE-VM-K9=

Deploy identity-based access control in a virtual form factor with Cisco Identity Services Engine VM licensing. This option is built for infrastructure teams that want the policy depth of Cisco ISE in a software-defined deployment, where virtualization, segmentation, and access governance need to fit existing compute and operations models. A VM-based approach gives architects more control over placement and scaling while keeping the access policy engine aligned to enterprise security requirements. It is a strong fit for organizations standardizing on virtual infrastructure, consolidating services, or separating control-plane functions from dedicated hardware footprints. For procurement teams, the value is in buying the right deployment model for the environment rather than overcommitting to physical infrastructure. For security teams, it supports consistent identity services across users, devices, and network segments while preserving the operational discipline expected from Cisco enterprise software licensing. Ideal For Deploying Cisco ISE in a virtualized data center environment Standardizing identity services across enterprise compute platforms Supporting network access control without adding physical appliances Separating policy services from hardware refresh cycles Why This Product 1 VM deployment fits virtual infrastructure better than fixed hardware 2 Cisco ISE licensing supports enterprise access control workflows 3 Software-based model simplifies placement and scaling decisions 4 Ideal when policy services must stay separate from appliance refreshes
