Cisco Open Pay

Match payments and IT usage with a consumption-based payment solution

Combine the privacy of on-premise data centers with the elasticity of cloud. Pay for routing, switching, computing, and storage technology as you use it.

Cisco Open Pay

Don't pay for IT assets you may never use. Pay for variable capacity, as needed, and better align payments with actual usage.


Retain control

Match payments to compute, storage, switching, routing, and security usage. Dial capacity up and down as needed and avoid ongoing maintenance. Plan with confidence as your organization grows.

Share the risk

We share the risk and offer cloud-like pricing and flexibility. Purchase per terabyte, per server, per port, or per virtual machine basis. Get the control and flexibility your business needs.

Need additional buffer capacity?

Additional buffer capacity is billed on a predetermined, price-per unit basis— only if the buffer is used. Opt for seasonal demand—periodic burst capacity beyond baseline needs and avoid spikes that could impact your network.

Pay as you go flexibility

Quarterly fixed cost with no hidden charges or back-door fees. Respond to both anticipated and unexpected demand spikes with less risk and increased flexibility.
