Cisco Alteon D-6420 Perform Upgrade to Secure | Cloud Licensing — L-RD-6420-PUS=

Advance Alteon D-6420 from Perform to Secure with a licensing change that keeps the platform in place while extending its security posture. This upgrade path is built for infrastructure teams that need to tighten control around application delivery without introducing a hardware refresh or a new deployment model. For enterprise environments, the value is in continuity. Existing Alteon investments remain aligned to the same operational footprint, while the Secure tier adds the protection profile expected in more demanding production networks. That makes it a practical choice when security requirements increase, audit expectations tighten, or traffic handling must stay stable under load. Because this is a Cisco licensing item, the purchase is about entitlement and capability rather than physical hardware. It fits teams standardizing on Alteon for application delivery and looking to move a specific D-6420 deployment into a more secure operating state with minimal change management overhead. Use it when the platform is already proven and the requirement is to raise the security baseline without re-architecting the service. The result is a cleaner path to stronger protection, with less disruption than replacing the underlying system. Ideal For Upgrading an installed Alteon D-6420 environment to a Secure entitlement Meeting tighter security requirements without replacing application delivery hardware Standardizing licensing across an enterprise Alteon deployment Extending the life of a validated D-6420 platform while improving protection Why This Product 1 Upgrade path, not a hardware purchase 2 Moves an existing D-6420 from Perform to Secure 3 Preserves the installed Alteon footprint 4 Targets security enhancement without platform replacement
