•  Since June 2009, VMware had resold Nexus 1000V licenses and support (via ELA) as well as supported Nexus 1000V through their support organization

VMware End of Availability Announcement

“ VMware is announcing the End of Availability (EOA) for the Cisco Nexus 1000V SKU and its associated support SKUs from VMware effective February 2, 2015.

Customers who want to buy additional licenses and support for the Cisco Nexus 1000V after February 2, 2015 can buy those licenses and support directly from Cisco. “

•  Cisco and its reseller partners (including VCE) will continue to sell Nexus 1000V licenses and support contracts

Cisco Continues to Sell Product Licenses and Support Contracts for Nexus 1000V

Cisco encourages customers who have expiring VMware support contract to migrate the

contract over to Cisco for continued support

Engineering process followed between Cisco and VMware since the introduction of the product in 2009: •  Every release of N1K has to go through an interoperability and certification plan (test

suite) and results provided to VMware

•  Same is true for every release of VMware vSphere – major, minor, patches and updates

•  When issues are found, Cisco file bugs against their code through the VMware DCPN portal •  Cisco N1KV team members part of DCPN: Srinivasan Krishnamurthy, Truemenraj Paulraj, Gleb

Sapozhnikov

•  The teams engaged just before announcing vSphere 6.0 support and validated the interoperability of N1KV & vSphere 6.0

Cisco and VMware continues to ensure interoperability of N1KV and vSphere
