The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Cisco+ provides all the benefits of Cisco, now as a service. Boost speed, agility, and scale with on-demand solutions that intelligently adapt to your business needs. Our hybrid cloud offers give you flexible consumption for your on-premises infrastructure so you can optimize workloads across clouds, on-premises data centers, labs, and co-location facilities for scale, performance, and agility, with great value. We are taking several years of buying trends and behaviors, and packaging our most popular solutions to meet common needs.
You have the flexibility to choose a consumption model tailored to your business: pay as you use or pay as you grow.
Pay as you use:
This model provides maximum flexibility on service capacity. It allows you to scale up or down as your business changes and is ideal for seasonal or hard-to-predict scenarios. You select a reserved service capacity for your organization and then can scale up or down as your requirements vary.
Pay as you grow:
Ideal for high-growth organizations, this model provides a buffer for growth in the services you need. It allows you to commit to a known service capacity and allows flexibility to add capacity as your business needs change.
In each scenario, Cisco will deploy a full-stack solution package of hardware, software, and services for customer success to provide you with flexible IT resources and the capacity required to run your business with cloud-like scalability and agility, while enabling the security, control, and performance of on-premises workloads. With Cisco+ Hybrid Cloud, you can choose to self-manage day-2 operations or work with a leading Cisco provider partner for a fully managed service offer. We are building a model that will flex with your evolving business needs and changes over time.
