Cisco UCS E-Series VMware ESXi 5 Hypervisor License

Preserve virtualization rights on Cisco UCS E-Series platforms with a license designed for host-based deployment. This entitlement covers 1 router and supports VMware ESXi 5 hypervisor use on the Services Ready Engine Virtualization platform. For infrastructure teams, the benefit is control: maintain a clear licensing record for a specific host environment and keep the virtualization layer aligned with the installed Cisco architecture. For procurement, it supports a targeted purchase model that avoids overbuying and keeps licensing tied to the actual deployment footprint. This license fits organizations that are standardizing on Cisco edge or branch infrastructure and need a defined way to enable virtualization on the platform already in place. It is a practical option when the goal is to keep the environment supportable, documented, and ready for operational use without broadening scope beyond the required host.
