Cisco Systems is proud to announce new network products and upgrades to help businesses across all sectors plan for grand re-opens and move toward a more digital model. Pluggable switching modules (SM-X) for the ISR 4000 imbue the popular branch router with the same Unified Access Data Plane (UADP) programmable ASIC that is the powerhouse of the Catalyst 9000 family; while the pluggable Embedded Services Processors module (ESP-X) enables better cloud performance for businesses equipped with ASR 1000s via much greater throughput capabilities and accelerated crypto performance. Finally, the new Cisco 1100 Series Terminal Services Gateway (1100 TSG) gives businesses with growing on-premise hardware footprints—such as cloud service providers and sensitive enterprises—a secure remote console for better Out of Band Management (OOB).
Whether a business is prepared to open or still planning a modified experience—Cisco is there with the right technology.
Supporting a New Edge
Efforts to reopen businesses and resume economic operations are not simple but can be executed with proper connectivity, automation and a transformed layout. Inevitably, these grand re-opens will create a new edge where throughput and privacy needs are enormous; where connectivity must be simple and consistent; and where networking is intent-based.
The places we used to go to work, travel, watch, consume, shop and unwind will transform with richer digital experiences, such as custom shopping offers delivered to the user device, or smart check-out and debit where all a shopper needs to do is grab the item and leave. These are places where we carry phones, use touch screen kiosks, swipe tablets, check smart-watches and rely on anything and everything else that connects to the internet. Meanwhile, a larger, more distributed workforce operating from home and accessing sensitive data over a hybrid WAN create challenges.
The New Edge: Data Center, Public Cloud, Internet and Branches
How IT teams equip and manage these edge locations will define their success—whether or not the experience is good or the end-user opts for a competitor as a result. Ensuring that successful experience requires more than routing. Only Cisco offers branch and cloud edge locations true network intelligence—dynamic routing over the most accurate internet map at consistent and incredible speeds. Cisco knows these locations need to host applications, pack compute and run services on location in a single platform. They need built in security no matter what their architecture looks like. Resilience is a must. Cisco offers it all with a quality customers trust.
The Cisco SM-X and ESP-X prepare your business for the future with a better network fabric, while the 1100 TSG provides simpler, more secure management wan aggregation.
ISR 4000 SM-X
When building out a network solution for a transformed branch, physical space restrictions can hinder plans. It’s impossible to fit a whole rack in the branch and stack whatever solutions are necessary—much as one does at headquarters or a campus. A single platform for each branch location must provide a variety of “full-stack” virtualized services from dynamic link selection to security, and be small enough to fit under a desk or in a closet.
The ISR 4000 is the world’s leading branch router, containing flexible technology for a variety of services and a trustworthy design. The latest SM-X release extends your ISR 4000 performance and investment even further to include switching capabilities on par with the Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series, and extends your network fabric to include Layer 2 to Layer 7 control—MAC to application. The SM-X also provides a variety of PoE options for Wireless support, along with access switching and Inter-VLAN routing.
