Cisco Alteon D-7700DS/7100DS 100G to 200G Upgrade | Licensing — L-RD-7771DS-1HU2H=

Expand throughput on the Alteon D-7700DS/7100DS platform from 100G to 200G with a software upgrade option designed for teams that need more capacity without a hardware refresh. This licensing path preserves the existing appliance investment while unlocking additional performance headroom for growing application traffic, service consolidation, and tighter infrastructure planning. For enterprise environments, the value is in continuity. You keep the current platform, avoid the disruption of a replacement cycle, and extend the useful life of the deployed system with a controlled upgrade path. That makes this option well suited for organizations that want to scale deliberately while maintaining operational consistency across production services. Because this is a software option rather than a physical appliance, procurement and deployment stay focused on entitlement rather than logistics. It is a practical fit for infrastructure teams that need to align capacity with demand, support future growth, and protect prior investment in the Alteon platform.
