Cisco Alteon D-7700/7100 Deliver to Perform Upgrade | Licensing — L-RD-7771-DUP=

Advance an existing Alteon D-7700/7100 deployment from Deliver to Perform with a software upgrade option built for organizations that want more from the platform they already own. This entitlement-based path helps teams preserve capital investment while extending the value of the installed system through a controlled capability upgrade. For enterprise infrastructure groups, the advantage is operational discipline. You avoid the disruption of a hardware swap, keep the deployment model consistent, and add capability through a licensing action rather than a physical refresh. That makes this option a strong fit for environments where uptime, planning certainty, and procurement efficiency matter. The result is a cleaner path to growth. Instead of replatforming, you can align the existing Alteon deployment with current performance needs and future demand. It is a focused upgrade choice for teams that want to protect sunk cost while improving the platform’s role in production service delivery.
