Cisco Alteon D-8600S/SL Upgrade 100G to 200G | Cloud Licensing — L-RD-8600DP-1HU2H=

Increase throughput capacity on an existing Alteon D-8600S/SL deployment with a Cisco upgrade license that moves the platform from 100G to 200G. This is the right path when traffic growth is outpacing current headroom, but the hardware foundation still has room to serve. Instead of funding a full replacement cycle, you extend the value of the installed base and keep the environment aligned to demand. For infrastructure teams, the appeal is straightforward: preserve the operational model, avoid unnecessary refresh complexity, and add capacity where it matters most. That makes this license well suited for environments carrying business-critical application traffic, where performance margins are part of the service contract. It also helps procurement teams justify spend against a clear technical outcome — more capacity on a known platform, with less disruption than a rip-and-replace approach. Because this is a software entitlement rather than a physical appliance, deployment is tied to the supported Cisco Alteon platform and the existing 100G configuration. The result is a cleaner upgrade path for organizations that need to scale deliberately, maintain control over infrastructure investment, and keep performance aligned with application demand. Ideal For Scaling an existing Alteon deployment to handle rising application traffic Extending the life of a D-8600S/SL platform without replacing hardware Adding performance headroom for business-critical delivery environments Planning a controlled capacity increase for a known installed base Why This Product 1 Adds capacity without replacing the existing platform 2 Targets a specific 100G to 200G upgrade path 3 Keeps the installed Alteon base in service 4 Fits organizations that need controlled performance growth
