Cisco Cloud DDoS PP Direct Data Center Connection | DDoS Protection — L-RD-CP-DCCON=

Sustain customer-facing services when attack traffic targets your network edge. Cisco Cloud DDoS PP - Direct Data Center Connection is built for organizations that need a direct connection from the data center into Cisco’s DDoS protection workflow, helping divert malicious traffic before it can overwhelm critical infrastructure. This licensing item is suited to teams that already operate at scale and need a cleaner path to mitigation than ad hoc response tools can provide. By aligning protection with direct data center connectivity, it supports faster attack handling, more predictable operations, and stronger continuity for internet-facing applications, portals, and services. For infrastructure leaders, the value is operational control. Instead of absorbing attack load locally, you can route protection through a purpose-built cloud mitigation model designed to reduce disruption and preserve bandwidth for legitimate traffic. That matters when uptime, customer trust, and incident response time all carry financial weight. Use this entitlement when your environment requires a Cisco-managed DDoS protection path tied to direct data center connection architecture. It is a practical fit for enterprises that want to harden availability without adding unnecessary complexity to the network stack.
