Cisco DefensePro X10-1G to X10-2G Upgrade | DDoS Protection — L-RD-DPXUX10-1G=

Scale DefensePro capacity without replacing the platform. Cisco DefensePro X10-1G to X10-2G upgrade licensing gives security teams a direct path to higher performance while preserving the existing investment in the deployed system. That matters when traffic growth, attack volume, or service consolidation pushes a protection platform beyond its original sizing. Instead of introducing a new appliance cycle, this upgrade keeps the environment anchored to the current deployment while extending capacity to the next tier. For procurement, it reduces unnecessary hardware refresh cost. For operations, it simplifies change management and keeps the upgrade path tightly controlled. This is the kind of purchase that makes sense when the current DefensePro footprint is still operationally sound, but the workload has outgrown the original 1G class. The result is a more efficient way to extend protection capacity with a Cisco-defined upgrade path that fits enterprise planning, budget discipline, and long-term infrastructure control. Ideal For Upgrading an existing DefensePro deployment that has outgrown the 1G capacity tier Extending DDoS protection headroom without replacing the current appliance Planning a controlled capacity increase for a security platform under heavier traffic load Preserving prior investment while moving to a higher DefensePro performance class Why This Product 1 Upgrades the existing DefensePro platform instead of replacing it 2 Moves from 1G to 2G capacity for more protection headroom 3 Keeps procurement focused on licensing rather than new hardware 4 Supports controlled scaling for enterprise security operations
