Cisco NEXUS 7000 Incremental VDC License (+4 VDC) | Nexus 7000, Licensing — N7K-VDC1K9

Increase the logical capacity of Cisco Nexus 7000 switching environments with an incremental +4 VDC license. This software entitlement adds virtual device context capability to support stronger segmentation, cleaner operational boundaries, and more flexible multi-tenant design across a shared fabric. For infrastructure teams running dense data center networks, VDC expansion helps separate workloads without multiplying physical switches. That means different application tiers, business units, or administrative domains can be managed with clearer policy control and reduced blast radius. It is a practical way to extend the value of an existing Nexus 7000 investment when physical consolidation is already in place. This license is suited to organizations that need to scale logical partitioning while preserving the operational model of the Nexus 7000 platform. It supports environments where uptime, change control, and network isolation matter more than adding another box. For teams standardizing on Cisco switching, it provides a direct path to more segmentation capacity without redesigning the core. Ideal For Segment production, development, and test traffic on a shared Nexus 7000 fabric Separate business units or tenants within a consolidated data center switch environment Increase logical isolation for regulated workloads and controlled administrative domains Extend existing Cisco Nexus 7000 deployments without introducing new switching hardware Why This Product 1 Adds +4 VDC capacity for Nexus 7000 segmentation 2 Avoids hardware expansion for logical isolation needs 3 Supports multi-tenant and multi-domain network design 4 Fits Cisco Nexus 7000 environments already standardized on VDCs
