Cisco ASR1001-HX Crypto Throughput Upgrade 8G to 16G | License — FLSA1-1HX8G16G

Expand encrypted throughput on the Cisco ASR1001-HX with a licensed upgrade from 8G to 16G. This entitlement is designed for environments where crypto performance, not raw routing capacity, becomes the limiting factor. It helps preserve service levels as VPN usage grows, remote sites multiply, and more traffic must stay encrypted end to end. For infrastructure teams, the value is straightforward: extend the life of an existing ASR1001-HX deployment instead of accelerating a hardware refresh. That matters when the router is already integrated into a stable WAN architecture, change windows are tight, and the cost of replacing a production edge platform is hard to justify. The upgrade is a clean way to align throughput with current security demand. Because this is a targeted license upgrade, it fits organizations that need more from a known platform without altering the broader design. It supports a more measured investment path while keeping the operational model intact. For teams managing secure branch connectivity, encrypted tunnels, and traffic growth, the 8G to 16G step provides the extra capacity needed to keep critical flows moving. Ideal For Scaling encrypted branch connectivity on an installed ASR1001-HX Increasing VPN throughput for remote access and site-to-site tunnels Extending the service life of a production edge router Meeting higher crypto demand without a chassis replacement Why This Product 1 Upgrades crypto throughput without replacing the router 2 Targets encrypted traffic performance rather than general routing 3 Fits installed ASR1001-HX environments with minimal disruption 4 Provides a single-license entitlement for one platform
