Cisco Alteon D-9800 Perform Upgrade to Secure | Licensing Enterprise — L-RD-9800-PUS=

Advance an existing Alteon D-9800 Perform deployment into the Secure tier with a licensing upgrade designed to protect operational continuity. For teams that have already standardized on the platform, this path avoids a disruptive platform change while aligning the environment to a higher security posture. Cisco’s upgrade model is built for organizations that need to preserve prior investment and tighten controls without re-architecting the service chain. It is a practical choice when the priority is to maintain application delivery performance, keep procurement aligned to the installed base, and move to a more secure entitlement level through a defined licensing action. This SKU is best suited for infrastructure teams managing production traffic, regulated workloads, or environments where security requirements have increased over time. Rather than buying a new system, you extend the value of the existing Alteon deployment and position it for stricter operational governance. For enterprise buyers, the value is in precision: a targeted upgrade, a known product line, and a licensing motion that supports long-term platform planning.
