Cisco NCI Starter SW Lic & L3 Production SW Sup per Core

Keep production planning disciplined with Cisco NCI Starter software licensing and Level 3 production support sold per core. This entitlement model is built for infrastructure teams that need precise license alignment, predictable support coverage, and a procurement structure that scales cleanly with CPU-based deployments. For organizations standardizing on Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure, the Starter program helps formalize access to production software while preserving the support depth expected in enterprise operations. Per-core licensing makes it easier to map spend to actual deployment footprint, which matters when you are balancing capacity growth, audit readiness, and budget control. The value here is not just access to software. It is the combination of production-grade support and a licensing construct that fits serious infrastructure planning. That makes this SKU appropriate for teams comparing entry-level entitlement options against broader enterprise agreements, especially when consistency, traceability, and vendor accountability matter more than a lower sticker price.
