Routers

The platforms are architected to enable the next phase of branch-office evolution, providing rich media collaboration and virtualization to the branch while maximizing operational cost savings. The integrated services routers generation 2 are future-enabled with support for the high capacity DSPs (Digital Signal Processors) for future enhanced video capabilities, high powered service modules with improved availability, multi-core CPUs, Gigabit Ethernet switching with enhanced POE, and energy visibility and control capabilities while enhancing overall system performance. Overall, the Cisco 3900 series offer unparalleled total cost of ownership savings and network agility through the intelligent integration of market leading security, unified communications, wireless, and application services.

Cisco 880 Series Integrated Services Routers are fixed-configuration routers that provide collaborative business solutions for secure voice and data communication to small businesses and enterprise teleworkers. They offer concurrent broadband services over third-generation (3G), Metro Ethernet, and multiple DSL technologies to provide business continuity. Wireless 802.11n and 3G offer LAN and WAN mobility. The routers provide the performance required for concurrent services, including firewall, intrusion prevention, content filtering, and encryption for VPNs; optional 802.11g/n for mobility; and quality-of-service (QoS) features for optimizing voice and video applications. In addition, the web-based Cisco Configuration Professional configuration tool simplifies setup and deployment. Centralized management capabilities give network managers visibility and control of the network configurations at the remote site.

The Cisco 4000 Family Integrated Services Router (ISR) revolutionizes WAN communications in the enterprise branch. With new levels of built-in intelligent network capabilities and convergence, it specifically addresses the growing need for application-aware networking in distributed enterprise sites. These locations tend to have lean IT resources. But they often also have a growing need for direct communication with both private data centers and public clouds across diverse links, including Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs and the Internet.

Cisco 890 Series ISRs deliver integrated security and threat defense, protecting networks from both known and new Internet vulnerabilities and attacks. These powerful, fixed-configuration routers provide secure broadband, Metro Ethernet, and wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity. Service providers offering managed Ethernet WAN services can deploy them in customer locations as CPE. You get centralized and remote management capabilities through web-based tools and Cisco IOS® Software for full visibility and control of network configurations at the remote site.

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processors address the route-processing requirements of carrier-grade IP and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) packet infrastructures. Not only do they provide advanced routing capabilities,but they also monitor and manage the other components in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router.

Cisco Catalyst 4500-X Series provides scalable, fixed-campus aggregation solutions in space-constrained environments. The solution provides flexibility to build desired port density through two versions of base switches along with optional network module, providing line-rate 10GE capability. Both the 32-port and 16-port versions can be configured with optional network modules and offer similar features. The Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) interface supports both 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing customers to use their investment in 1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP and upgrade to 10 Gigabit Ethernet when business demands change, without having to do a comprehensive upgrade of the existing deployment. The uplink module is hot swappable.

The Cisco ASR 1002-X router offers embedded services for enterprise and service provider networks in a 2-rack unit small form factor. It is integrated with a route processor, embedded services processor, and SPA interface processor. Running on Cisco IOS XE software, the Cisco ASR 1002-X supports software redundancy without redundant hardware. The ASR 1002-X is ideal for high-end enterprise branch offices, and as a high-performing edge solution for a private WAN.

The Cisco 4451-X revolutionizes delivery of services to high-end branch offices to promote a high-quality application experience. This router provides Gigabit forwarding performance and the broadest set of services available natively on a single-box solution. It offers appliance-level reliability, pay-as-you-grow services without disruption, and simplified operations that reduce expenses.
