Factory Installed VMware vSphere 6 Std

Maintain a supported virtualization foundation on Cisco HX infrastructure with factory-installed VMware vSphere 6 Standard. This licensing item is intended for environments that need to keep the platform aligned with an active support posture while preserving access to the virtualization features already in use. The package covers 1 resource value unit for a 1-year term and is positioned as a software subscription and support reinstatement. That makes it a practical choice when the priority is continuity: keeping the environment operational, supported, and ready for ongoing infrastructure management without unnecessary disruption. For teams responsible for production workloads, the value is in staying on a known platform with a defined support window. It helps avoid the cost and risk of unmanaged virtualization software while keeping the deployment tied to the Cisco HX factory-installed model.
