Cisco DefensePro X20-5G to X20-10G Upgrade | Cloud Licensing — L-RD-DPXUX20-5G=

Increase protection headroom with the Cisco DefensePro X20-5G to X20-10G upgrade license. This entitlement is built for environments that have outgrown the 5G tier and need a direct move to 10G capacity without changing the underlying platform. For security and infrastructure teams, the value is straightforward: more licensed throughput, less pressure on the existing deployment, and a cleaner way to match protection capacity to traffic growth. That matters when attack volumes rise, application demand increases, or procurement needs to extend the useful life of an installed DefensePro environment. An upgrade license is often the most efficient path when the hardware or base deployment remains suitable but the capacity ceiling no longer is. Instead of replacing the system, you extend it. That preserves operational continuity while giving the security stack more room to absorb real-world load. The result is a more measured investment, with capacity added where it is needed most. Ideal For Expanding DDoS mitigation capacity in an installed DefensePro environment Upgrading a production security stack without platform replacement Supporting traffic growth that exceeds the 5G entitlement Extending the service life of an existing DefensePro deployment Why This Product 1 Moves an existing X20-5G deployment to X20-10G capacity 2 Avoids full platform replacement 3 Better fit for growth than staying on the base tier 4 Preserves operational continuity during expansion
