Cisco 8G Hybrid Always-On Cloud DDoS Protection — 8 Gbps, 36 Months | DDoS, Cloud — L-RD-CAOH-8G-3Y

Keep customer-facing services online and maintain SLAs during distributed denial-of-service incidents with an always-on cloud scrubbing layer rated at 8 Gbps. This hybrid service directs attack traffic into Cisco’s mitigation capacity while preserving legitimate traffic via an on‑ramp for compatible on‑prem devices. A three-year subscription removes the need for per-event procurement, simplifies capacity planning and centralizes incident telemetry into Cisco reporting. The service focuses on immediate availability and operational predictability: automated mitigation reduces time-to-service recovery, while continuous monitoring and logging feed security operations and forensics. For procurement and architecture teams, this SKU packages predictable spend for sustained protection, reducing costly emergency upgrades or appliance overprovisioning. Deploy as a primary protection layer for public web, API endpoints and DNS, or as a backup to upstream scrubbing — particularly where consistent low-latency delivery and contractual uptime matter. Ideal For Protect public-facing web and API endpoints from volumetric DDoS Maintain DNS availability for enterprise service continuity Supplement on-prem scrubbing appliances during peak attack periods Provide predictable, contract-backed mitigation for SLA-driven services Why This Product 1 Provide continuous 8 Gbps mitigation vs on-demand burst services that may incur latency before engagement 2 Include hybrid on‑ramp for on‑prem appliances vs cloud-only feeds that lack local routing integration 3 Offer a 36-month contract for predictable spend vs ad-hoc per-event purchases 4 Deliver centralized incident logs for forensic analysis vs limited local-only reporting
