Product Migration Options
The Cisco Secure Access Control System (ACS) product functionality has been implemented in the Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) product line. Customers with only Access Control System installations interested in migrating to ISE may purchase a migration bundle with product part number ACS-ISE-MIG-M or ACS-ISE-MIG-S, on sale until August 31, 2017. Customers who have maintained parallel installations of both ACS and ISE are able to simplify their security solution by using the functionality of their ISE installment. Customers with both ACS and ISE installations are not eligible for the migration bundles.
Migrate Now for Less! Existing ACS customers can enjoy up to 63% off Cisco ISE hardware and software license bundles. Take advantage of this limited time promotion. Download the Cisco ISE Ordering Guide at:
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/security/identity-services-engine/guide_c07-656177.pdf.
Access Control System customers that would like to compare the functionality of their ACS installment with ISE functionality may review the ISE Ordering Guide at:
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/security/identity-services-engine/guide_c07-656177.pdf.
Customers may be able to use the Cisco Technology Migration Program (TMP) where applicable to trade-in eligible products and receive credit toward the purchase of new Cisco equipment. For more information about Cisco TMP, customers should work with their Cisco Partner or Cisco account team. Cisco Partners can find additional TMP information on Partner Central at http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/incentives_and_promotions/tmp.html.
Simplify migrating from ACS to ISE in three easy phases—pre-migration, migration, and post-migration. Each of these phases delivers the expertise, support, and experience necessary to quickly implement ISE on your network. Learn more about this service at:
