Cisco Innovation Pod MiniPod SW/Encryption Only Kit, 1Y — 1 Year License | MiniPod, Encryption — CIPT-IPOD-KIT-1Y-M

Deliver focused encryption for MiniPod environments with a one-year, software-only encryption kit. The Innovation Pod MiniPod SW/Encryption Only Kit provides encryption entitlement to secure MiniPod traffic streams and meet short-term compliance or project requirements. Designed for innovation labs, pilot projects and temporary production overlays, the kit minimizes procurement friction by separating encryption licensing from hardware lifecycle. Administrators can apply the entitlement to eligible MiniPod instances to enable encrypted communications, integrate with existing management tools, and maintain visibility into encrypted flows. Since this SKU is license-only, it complements existing MiniPod hardware and is intended for environments that require encryption capability for a defined 1-year term. Procurement teams will find it useful for fixed-term projects, proofs of concept and phased rollouts where encryption needs are time-boxed or budgeted separately from infrastructure purchases. Ideal For Add one-year encryption to MiniPod pilot projects without hardware changes Provide temporary compliance-grade encryption for short-term contracts Enable encrypted overlays during phased network migrations Secure traffic in innovation labs and proof-of-concept environments Why This Product 1 Provides time-boxed encryption for projects whereas perpetual licenses require long-term commitments 2 Delivers encryption entitlement without purchasing hardware encryption modules 3 Simplifies budget alignment for pilots compared with platform-wide encryption purchases 4 Offers focused encryption capability vs broader suites that include unused features
