Cisco DefensePro X50 20G to 40G Upgrade | Software Option — L-RDDPX50U20-40G=

Expand Cisco DefensePro X50 capacity from 20G to 40G with a software option built for teams that need more protection throughput without changing the underlying platform. This entitlement lets you scale the installed system instead of starting over with a new appliance. That approach is valuable when traffic growth, application rollout, or policy changes push the current configuration toward its ceiling. By moving to 40G, you gain additional headroom while keeping the same operational footprint and procurement path. For infrastructure and security teams, the benefit is not just capacity. It is continuity. The existing deployment stays in place, the upgrade path remains controlled, and the organization avoids the cost and planning overhead of a hardware refresh. This makes the option a practical fit for environments where uptime, predictability, and investment protection matter as much as raw throughput.
