Ordering Information
Cisco’s pricing strategy for Cisco Monitor Director aligns with how Cisco authorized partners
charge their customers for their remote MSP services. Typically, this is an annual subscription
service, based on the number of network users or the number of devices in the network. The
solution consists of two products: Cisco Monitor Manager for the end-user customer site and Cisco
Monitor Director at the Cisco partner site. These two products are offered individually, and Cisco
partners will need to order one copy of Cisco Monitor Director and at least one Cisco Monitor
Manager to offer managed services. This solution can be scaled up to a maximum of 100 Cisco
Monitor Managers by ordering multiple Cisco Monitor Managers in increments of one.
The solution is also offered without licenses for a 60-day evaluation period. License purchases
following the evaluation period are required for continued use of the product, and license renewals
can be purchased following the end of a one-year deployment. Cisco Monitor Director is available
for purchase through regular Cisco sales and distribution channels worldwide. To place an order,
visit the Cisco Ordering Homepage.
A free 60-day evaluation version of the latest Cisco Monitor Director software can be downloaded
from
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/CiscoMD-crypto. To purchase a one-year
subscription license for use beyond the initial evaluation period, please contact your Cisco sales
representative.
