Cisco DefensePro X90-HP-20G to 40G Upgrade Option | Licensing, Software — L-RDDPX90HU20-40G=

Increase DefensePro X90-HP capacity from 20G to 40G with a Cisco software upgrade option built for teams that need more protection headroom without a hardware refresh. This license path is designed to extend the useful life of the existing platform while supporting higher traffic demands and more demanding security operations. For infrastructure teams, the value is straightforward: preserve the deployed appliance, avoid a disruptive replacement cycle, and move to a higher-capacity tier when traffic growth or policy requirements outpace the current configuration. That makes this option especially relevant for environments where uptime, change control, and capital discipline matter. Because this is a software licensing upgrade, it fits neatly into planned capacity expansion workflows. It helps align security throughput with business growth while keeping procurement and deployment simpler than a full platform swap. For organizations standardizing on Cisco and DefensePro, it provides a clean path to scale protection capacity with minimal operational friction. Ideal For Increase throughput capacity in a live DefensePro deployment Scale security inspection headroom as traffic grows Extend the lifecycle of an installed X90-HP platform Plan a budget-conscious capacity upgrade instead of a hardware replacement Why This Product 1 Higher capacity without replacing the platform 2 Software entitlement instead of new hardware 3 Designed for existing DefensePro X90-HP deployments 4 Cleaner path to scale security throughput
