Cisco Crypto Throughput Upgrade ASR1002-HX 8G to 16G | Enterprise — FLSA1-2HX8G16G

Expand encrypted throughput on the Cisco ASR1002-HX with a targeted upgrade from 8G to 16G. This is the kind of change that matters when VPN traffic, secure tunnels, and encrypted application flows begin to press against existing capacity. Instead of replacing the platform, you extend its useful life and preserve the investment already made in the router. For infrastructure teams, the value is straightforward: more crypto throughput means more room for secure traffic to move without becoming the bottleneck. That matters in branch aggregation, WAN edge, and enterprise perimeter designs where encryption overhead can shape user experience and application performance. This upgrade is best suited for organizations that need to scale secure traffic handling while keeping the ASR1002-HX in service. It supports a more efficient path to capacity planning, especially when the goal is to improve performance in place rather than introduce a new hardware refresh cycle. Ideal For WAN edge deployments with growing encrypted traffic Branch aggregation sites requiring higher VPN capacity Enterprise perimeter environments with heavier secure tunnels Capacity planning for ASR1002-HX platforms under load Why This Product 1 Doubles crypto throughput from 8G to 16G 2 Targets the ASR1002-HX instead of a full platform replacement 3 Better fit for encrypted traffic growth than static capacity 4 Supports secure networking expansion with minimal infrastructure change
