Cisco CON-PSUT-IE401612 Firepower VMware 300 Upgrade

Increase the managed scale of a Cisco Firepower Management Center VMware deployment to the 300 tier. Firepower Management Center provides centralized administration for security policy, events and managed security devices; this upgrade applies to the virtualized management platform rather than to an individual network appliance. CON-PSUT-IE401612 identifies the Cisco upgrade associated with the Firepower Management Center VMware 300 tier. It fits environments that already operate Firepower Management Center as a VMware virtual machine and need the licensing tier aligned with a larger managed security estate. The 300 designation identifies the target capacity tier for the virtual management deployment. Select this upgrade when the management plane must remain on VMware while scaling beyond the capacity level currently in use. Keeping management in the existing virtual infrastructure can preserve established compute, storage, backup and operational practices around the Firepower Management Center deployment. This item concerns the management platform’s upgrade tier; it does not describe a firewall appliance, switch, access point or physical server.
