Cisco NVAIE Essentials Support per GPU — 8 Months Renewal | NVAIE, Per‑GPU Support — NV-AIE-P-R-8M=

Protect GPU-based inference deployments and preserve operational SLAs with an 8‑month renewal of Cisco NVAIE Essentials Support, billed per GPU. This support line focuses on availability and software continuity: it restores failed inference capacity, provides vendor troubleshooting for GPU-related stack issues, and delivers the software updates and patches necessary to keep models running in production. Buying per‑GPU coverage aligns support spend to active inference capacity, avoiding blanket seat or node fees when GPU utilization varies. The renewal preserves existing entitlements and access to Cisco’s knowledge base and case routing, allowing teams to resolve GPU driver and orchestration integration problems faster. For enterprise buyers, this SKU keeps maintenance windows predictable and simplifies procurement for rolling refresh cycles. Choose this renewal when you need short‑term continuity after an initial term — it’s designed for operational teams that require targeted protection for GPU-accelerated inference without committing to longer multi‑year contracts. Ideal For Extend maintenance coverage for short procurement cycles after initial deployment Protect transient GPU clusters used for model validation or A/B testing Maintain vendor support for edge inference nodes with limited lifecycles Align support fees to active GPU capacity during hardware refresh windows Why This Product 1 Charge per active GPU to avoid paying for idle GPU licenses 2 Short 8‑month term to bridge procurement cycles versus multi‑year SMAs 3 Direct Cisco escalation path versus reseller triage for faster vendor fixes 4 Includes software updates and patches not guaranteed by base hardware warranties
