A Cisco Enterprise Agreement is a contract that covers all of the software under that technology vertical within the Cisco portfolio. Simply put, if you use a lot of Cisco WebEx and Collaboration, there’s a Cisco EA for that. If you have a lot of Cisco firewalls, there’s a separate EA for security. The Enterprise Agreement is either a 3 year or a 5-year option.
There are currently four unique Enterprise Agreements in the portfolio that align well with the different technology stacks. They are as follows:
– Security
– Collaboration
– Data Center
– DNA (Routing, switching, wireless)
