Cisco System SW Base Throughput License per Gbps | Cloud Licensing — VPCSW-00-GTL-1G=

Control software capacity with a Cisco base throughput license priced per gigabit per second. This model is built for teams that want licensing to reflect actual network throughput, not a generic package that forces you to buy more than you need. It gives architects and procurement teams a clearer way to size deployments and expand in measured steps. For infrastructure environments where bandwidth is the planning unit, per-Gbps licensing keeps expansion disciplined. You can align entitlement with traffic growth, stage capacity additions more accurately, and avoid the inefficiency of oversized license blocks. That makes it a strong fit for organizations managing evolving service loads, distributed deployments, or phased upgrades. Cisco’s licensing approach also helps standardize how throughput is added across systems, which simplifies forecasting and reduces ambiguity during procurement. Instead of guessing at future demand, you can buy to the level of capacity you actually expect to use. Choose this license when throughput is the metric that matters and you need a direct, auditable way to scale system software capacity. Ideal For Licensing base throughput for a Cisco software deployment Scaling network capacity in measured gigabit increments Supporting phased infrastructure upgrades with precise entitlement Aligning software spend to forecasted bandwidth demand Why This Product 1 Per-Gbps model gives tighter control than flat software bundles 2 Base throughput licensing supports incremental scaling 3 Capacity-based pricing aligns spend to actual bandwidth demand 4 Cisco entitlement structure simplifies procurement and forecasting
