Cisco NCM Ultimate SW License & Fed Mission Critical Support per Core

Keep critical network configuration management workloads under disciplined support with Cisco NCM Ultimate software licensing and federal mission-critical software support, licensed per core. This model is aimed at organizations that need precise entitlement mapping and a support posture appropriate for high-stakes environments. Per-core licensing gives procurement and infrastructure teams a clearer way to align cost with the compute resources actually carrying the workload. That matters when the platform is part of a larger operational control plane and support decisions must be traceable, auditable, and easy to defend. The federal mission-critical support designation signals a higher-touch support posture for environments where downtime carries outsized risk. For teams responsible for regulated, security-sensitive, or operationally essential systems, this package helps formalize support expectations around the software that keeps configuration workflows stable.
