Product Overview
Product Overview
The Cisco EPN Manager Redundancy License (Local High Availability or Geo-Disaster Recovery) is a subscription-based platform license designed to provide business continuity for your Cisco EPN Manager deployment. It enables a secondary, standby instance of EPN Manager to ensure that your network management capabilities remain accessible even if the primary system experiences an outage.
This license is crucial for IT Managers and IT Professionals in mid-market and enterprise organizations who rely on Cisco EPN Manager for the centralized control and monitoring of their Cisco network infrastructure. It integrates directly into existing EPN Manager deployments, providing a critical layer of resilience for network operations.
- Enables Redundant Deployment: Activates the necessary software features for a standby EPN Manager instance.
- Supports Local HA: Facilitates failover within the same data center for rapid recovery from hardware or software failures.
- Supports Geo-DR: Allows for a geographically dispersed standby instance to protect against site-wide disasters.
- Subscription Billing: Provides predictable costs with a recurring subscription model.
- Critical for Uptime: Essential for organizations requiring high availability for their network management platform.
This Cisco EPN Manager redundancy license is the ideal solution for mid-market and enterprise teams needing to guarantee network management uptime and operational resilience.

Industry Applications
Finance & Insurance
Financial institutions require extremely high availability for all IT systems, including network management, to ensure continuous trading, transaction processing, and compliance with strict regulatory mandates.
Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare providers depend on uninterrupted network connectivity for patient care systems, medical devices, and sensitive data management, making network management redundancy critical for operational continuity and patient safety.
Manufacturing & Industrial
Industrial operations rely on stable and available network infrastructure for production control, automation, and supply chain management; any downtime in network management can halt operations and lead to significant financial losses.
Government & Public Sector
Government agencies manage critical public services and sensitive data, necessitating robust and highly available IT infrastructure, including network management, to ensure uninterrupted service delivery and national security.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Local HA and Geo-DR for EPN Manager?
Local HA provides redundancy within the same data center for quick recovery from local failures. Geo-DR provides redundancy across geographically separate locations to protect against site-wide disasters.
What hardware is required for the redundant EPN Manager instance?
The specific hardware requirements for the standby instance depend on the chosen redundancy mode (Local HA or Geo-DR) and the scale of your EPN Manager deployment. Consult Cisco documentation for detailed specifications.
