Network Router: An Integrated Services Approach?
The network router is quickly evolving from a devicededicated to
connecting disparate networks to an integrated services
devicecapable of multiple functions beyond routing. Cisco customers
are increasinglydeploying integrated services routers, or
sophisticated network routers that candeliver voice, video, data
and Internet access, wireless, and otherapplications.
Benefits of the Integrated Services Network Router
Growing companies, especially those opening newoffices, can take
advantage of integrated network router solutions that arehighly
secure, flexible, and built to be compatible with
futuretechnologies.
- One Device, Multiple Functions: An integrated servicesnetwork router enables organizations to take
advantage of numerous built-intechnologies such as voice, wireless,
and advanced security systems whileensuring the quality of service
(QoS) prioritization their network applicationsdemand. Because the
network services are built in or can be easily added to
theintegrated services network router, companies can install one
sophisticateddevice rather than purchase separate products to
provide each individualfunction.
- Same Access at Headquarters and Remote Sites: An integratedservices network router gives all workers—even those
at branch offices or remotesites such as a home or hotel room—the
same access to business applications,unified communications, and
videoconferencing. Modular solutions allow you toinstall the
features you need for a particular office, and upgrade
equipmentwhen needs change or an office expands.
- Centralized Management: An integrated services networkrouter approach means technical
staff at headquarters can manage the networkfrom a central
location. This allows technical departments to allocate resourcesto
priority projects while providing reliable service to employees in
alllocations.
- Integrated Network Security: An integratedservices network router, with its systems approach,
allows companies to transferresponsibility for security and
reliability from individual computers and usersto the network
itself. This helps protect companies from the influx of
viruses,malicious code, and other infections that end users’
laptops might unknowinglyacquire.
By installing a complete solution and managing itcentrally,
companies can protect valuable corporate data using multiple types
ofprotection, such as encryption, firewall filtering, antivirus
protection, andintrusion detection and prevention.

Cisco Switch
Make Your Network Efficient, Reliable, and Secure
As your business grows, innovative LAN switch designs protect your
investment while preparing you for the future.
Local-area network (LAN) switches are at the core ofall networks,
providing high-speed connectivity, applications, andcommunications
systems. Today’s networks not only need to efficiently andsecurely
transmit bandwidth-intensive data, voice, video, and
wirelessapplications, they also need to provide for evolving
traffic patterns, newservices, and optimized application
performance. To meet current and futurenetwork needs, all LAN
switch designs must incorporate the following sixattributes:
- Application Intelligence: Recognition, prioritization andcontrol of applications is referred
to as application intelligence. Today’snetworks must recognize many
types of applications and understand the importanceof securing and
prioritizing applications running on the network to provide thebest
user experience.
- Unified Network Services: Combine the best elements ofwireless and wired networking to
connect to any resource or person through anydevice with
consistent, unified services. Switches can now apply and
scalesecurity or multicast services consistently across the network
or use quality ofservice (QoS), 10 Gigabit Ethernet technology, and
Power over Ethernet (PoE)technology to support new applications and
devices.
- Nonstop Communications: Existing features and capabilitiesthat help ensure nonstop
communications in LAN switches include: redundanthardware, non-stop
forwarding and stateful switch over (NSF/SSO) technology,in-service
software upgrades (ISSU) and software modularity.
- Virtualization: To support dynamic resource and serviceutilization over a shared
infrastructure, it is necessary for businesses toadopt new services
on a common, virtualized network. This enables securing guestor
contractor access to network resources, and provides department
segregationfor business compliance.
