FL-4220-BOOST-K9 Use Case

High-Throughput Remote Branch Connectivity with FL-4220-BOOST-K9

In a multinational enterprise with dozens of satellite offices, enabling real-time collaboration tools and cloud-based ERP requires sustained WAN throughput above the base 1 Gbps capacity of the Cisco 4220. By applying the FL-4220-BOOST-K9 Booster Performance License, IT teams unlock up to 3.5 Gbps of routing performance, reducing application latency by 40% and ensuring consistent video conferencing, VoIP and SaaS responsiveness at remote sites.

Secure SD-WAN Aggregation for Multicloud Deployments

A global retailer must securely connect point-of-sale systems and inventory databases across AWS, Azure and on-premises data centers without introducing bandwidth constraints. The FL-4220-BOOST-K9 License amplifies the Cisco 4220’s IPsec encryption throughput to over 2 Gbps, offloading CPU overhead and maintaining end-to-end SLA compliance. The outcome is a scalable, high-performance SD-WAN fabric that accelerates cloud migration and protects sensitive payment data.

Multi-Tenant Edge Routing for Managed Service Providers

A managed service provider hosts multiple small business tenants on a single Cisco 4220 platform but requires granular traffic shaping and guaranteed throughput per customer. With the FL-4220-BOOST-K9 Booster Performance License, the router delivers advanced QoS and up to 3.5 Gbps aggregate throughput, enabling per-tenant SLAs of 500 Mbps or higher. This boosts customer satisfaction, simplifies network operations and supports premium service tiers without additional hardware.
