Cisco Identity Services Engine Express License Bundle

Enterprise-Level Guest Access for Less

Wi-Fi has become ubiquitous in everyday life, and customers have come to expect internet access when visiting a business, whether they are in the corporate headquarters, branch, waiting area, or remote. Providing Wi-Fi service has become essential, and as technology has advanced, guests want easy access and a fast connection.

Features and Capabilities

Guest Access Licensing Bundle

Cisco Identity Services Engine Express, or ISE Express, is a comprehensive licensing bundle that offers enterprise-level guest services, including hotspot, sponsored, and self-registration portals. It also provides RADIUS authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) for the endpoints.

The bundle includes Cisco Identity Services Engine Base licensing for 150 endpoints, an ISE virtual machine, unlimited access to the ISE Portal Builder, a web-based portal customization tool, and a quick installation guide.

This bundle offers an appealing entry point for deploying Cisco ISE in your network. Not only can you buy additional guest licenses (up to 5,000 total), but you can also expand ISE services at a later date. For example, you can add licensing for bring-your-own-device (BYOD) or advanced-policy use cases.

ISE Portal Builder

The Cisco ISE Portal Builder includes native design capabilities. You can quickly design a portal by adding images (logos and banners, for example) and selecting a color theme to match a corporate brand. You have unlimited use of the ISE Portal Builder, a web-based tool that helps you create highly customized portals in 17 languages with a suite of 10 designer templates that are easily customizable and easily exportable to Cisco ISE.

Key Considerations

Cisco ISE Express is restricted to a single instance and cannot be run as a distributed solution or in a high-availability configuration. Nevertheless, it offers an easy introduction to Cisco ISE. It can be sold by non-Authorized Technology Provider Partners, and it can support up to 5,000 endpoints on the included virtual machine server. IT administrators will discover that deploying and configuring guest access for Cisco ISE is a simple and streamlined process.
