Cisco Plus delivers networking, security, and compute through a unified subscription service model.
Cisco Plus is Cisco's as-a-service consumption model for networking and compute infrastructure, providing Cisco networking, security, and compute products as managed subscription services. Cisco Plus NaaS delivers flexible network access for campus, branch, WAN, and data center infrastructure through cloud-managed Cisco Catalyst, Meraki, and Intersight platforms.
Cisco Plus bundles networking, security (Umbrella, Duo), and compute management into unified as-a-service subscriptions covering the full enterprise IT stack. Cisco Plus competes with Dell APEX and HPE GreenLake in the infrastructure-as-a-service market as enterprises adopt consumption-based IT procurement for flexible capacity management across hybrid cloud environments.
