Keep critical services available when volumetric attacks and traffic surges threaten performance. Cisco DefensePro X220 - 100G License Fixed SMS-1K provides fixed licensing for environments that need dependable DDoS mitigation policy control at 100G scale. It is designed for teams that must preserve application availability, maintain predictable enforcement, and reduce operational friction across high-capacity network segments. This license fits organizations that already know the throughput class they need and want a straightforward path to activate the right DefensePro capability set. For infrastructure teams, that means less ambiguity in procurement and a cleaner alignment between protection requirements and deployed capacity. For security operations, it supports consistent policy enforcement without forcing a broader platform commitment than the environment requires. Cisco’s DefensePro line is built for inline protection where response time matters. This fixed SMS-1K license is suited to enterprises that value precise entitlement control, stable planning, and a licensing model that matches the scale of the protected network. It is a practical choice when the cost of downtime, degraded service, or emergency mitigation far exceeds the cost of getting the licensing right the first time.
