Cisco one Bundle vs Traditional Licensing

This is one of the unique topic for which i received question from so long. I was trying to evaluate the things but not able to get time to explain the difference between these Licensing models. Cisco come up with the new approach so called as "Cisco One". It is a kind of Licensing model for all the upcoming devices and also the devices for which End of sale is not been announced.

Now some of you asking me the questions as stated below:
  • What is Cisco One Bundle actually means ?
  • Why Cisco one is coming into picture when there is traditional licensing model ?
  • How it can benefits to the organisations or enterprises ?
  • Is there any impact in the cost?
  • High cost or Low cost ?
so many questions on Cisco one bundled licensing model, well yeah i understand the concern but really speaking Cisco one bundle model is beneficial for all the customers who really doing the hardware and Software refresh after a specific interval of time. 



Fig 1.1- Cisco One and Traditional Licensing Model
  •  A step towards Innovation: With the help of Cisco ONE bundles, Cisco  providing your organisation’s network access to Cisco’s ongoing innovation and new technologies. Every advanced feature that may typically require additional licensing can be turned on and off as necessary, and there’s no worry about being outdated or under-licensed. So Cisco knows that IT managers want to maximize the power of the organization’s technology, down to the last drop. Cisco ONE makes it simple to use any or all of a device’s full line of software features, and your organization will always be working with the most advanced features and capabilities.
  • Portability of the Licenses: If an organisation is planning a significant hardware refresh, licensing the new devices through the Cisco ONE suite will ensure those licenses carry over to future devices in perpetuity. Since organizations can easily and quickly replace hardware as it ages and move the Cisco ONE license to new hardware as it is purchased, hardware, in a sense, becomes secondary to software.
  • IT Investment Protection: No C-suite wants to hear about money wasted. Because it provides license portability, Cisco ONE ensures that licenses aren’t wasted when hardware is replaced.
  • Cisco ONE allows an organisation to efficiently consume the technology that IT has purchased, and enables IT to easily upgrade the environment when new hardware is available. One example is Cisco’s Catalyst switches or routers : If you purchase a new switch  or a new router to support a higher stacking bandwidth or converged wired-wireless access, you can transfer the Cisco ONE license to the new device and that is the beauty of Cisco one Bundle. Thus, you’re keeping current with the latest networking technology and capabilities without buying new licenses every few years.
Hope it clears some of your doubts about "Cisco One" bundles. I recommend you to take the Cisco One bundles instead of taking the complexity of the traditional licensing models.
