Cisco High-Capacity SSL Add-on — 12 M SSL CEC, 240,000 SSL CPS, 3 Years | SSL, Add-on — L-RDCWS-12M-3Y

Protect performance for encrypted services by adding capacity expressly tuned for large SSL/TLS loads: 12 M SSL CEC (concurrent encrypted connections) and 240,000 SSL CPS (handshakes per second) under a 3-year add-on subscription. This Cisco SKU is designed for service providers, CSPs, and enterprises that operate high-transaction web platforms, API gateways, or authentication fabrics where TLS handshakes create transient spikes. Deploy as an augmentation to existing Cisco SSL/TLS termination infrastructure to absorb surge handshakes, reduce latency during peaks, and prevent session failures. The add-on reduces need for immediate hardware refresh while providing a single support channel for SSL performance issues. Operational controls focus on cipher and session cache tuning to maximize throughput while meeting compliance and security policies. Use this add-on when expected growth, promotional events, or bot-induced TLS loads threaten service quality. Ideal For Augment TLS termination for high-traffic e-commerce checkout systems Absorb large handshake spikes during product launches or marketing events Support API gateways and authentication clusters with high concurrent sessions Delay hardware refresh by adding subscription capacity for encrypted traffic Why This Product 1 Provide subscription-based SSL capacity to defer expensive appliance refreshes 2 Deliver explicit SSL CPS and CEC headroom versus vague throughput claims from lower-cost vendors 3 Maintain single-vendor support and tuning guidance rather than piecing together middleware fixes 4 Target high-handshake events with a predictable 3-year term instead of ad-hoc scaling
