Key Branch-Office Services

The Cisco Integrated Services Routers are industry-leading platforms that offer unprecedented levels of services integration. Designed to meet the requirements of the branch office, these platforms provide a complete solution with voice, video, security, mobility and application services. Businesses enjoy the benefit of deploying a single device that meets all their needs, reducing capital and operational expenses.

Cisco UCS E-Series Servers: Integrated Network, Compute, and Storage

Cisco UCS E-Series Servers, part of the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS), are next-generation, power-optimized, general-purpose x86 64-bit blade servers designed to be deployed in Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) and the Cisco 4451-X Integrated Services Router.

These price-to-performance optimized single-socket blade servers balance simplicity, performance, reliability, and power efficiency and are well suited for applications and infrastructure services typically deployed in small and branch offices. By using the Cisco ISR G2 as the blade server chassis, you can now deploy a single converged networking and computing platform designed specifically for remote- and branch-office infrastructure consolidation.

Cisco UCS E-Series Servers deliver next-generation Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 and E3-1100 product family technology in combination with integrated remote lights-out management in a blade-server form factor. These powerful processors deliver multiple cores and threads in a reduced-power envelope, providing improved performance and better energy efficiency than preceding models, making them an excellent platform for introducing virtualization into the branch office. The innovative, zero-footprint form factor of the Cisco UCS E-Series Servers in conjunction with the Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 and E3-1100 product families offers significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO), increased business agility, and greater reliability when compared to standalone rack-mount and tower servers.

Cisco UCS E-Series Server modules are available in two form factors. The first is a singlewide blade server powered by a high-performance yet power-efficient Intel Xeon processor E3 v1 or v2 with four cores, up to 16 GB of RAM, and two TB of local storage. The second is a doublewide blade server powered by a high-performance Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 with up to six cores and support for up to 48 GB of RAM and three TB of local storage.

Unified Communications, Collaboration, and Voice-Gateway Services

The Cisco 2900 Integrated Services Router is the foundation for collaboration in the small and midsize branch office, serving as a critical component of a Cisco’s video architecture (Medianet) and enterprise Unified Communications solution. With embedded voice services and a wide range of supported telephony interfaces, the Cisco 2900 Series delivers maximum deployment flexibility for the distributed enterprise. Unified communications is enabled through a rich signaling and media-processing infrastructure, including a variety of protocols, media interworking, signal and media security, transcoding, conferencing, and QoS. Cisco Integrated Services Routers also feature a wide range of voice-gateway interfaces, supporting a broad array of signaling and physical network interfaces.

The Cisco 2900 Series enables a full range of existing and emerging video services, with scaling improvements to support Cisco TelePresence® conferencing, security, and session control. The Cisco Unified Border Element extends these capabilities for business-to-business TelePresence communications. The Cisco 2900 Series adds support for the new Cisco High-Density Packet Voice Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Module (PVDM3), which has been optimized for voice and video support.

The new PVDM3 modules support all voice-gateway functions of earlier generations of PVDMs and add higher density and more processing power to support emerging rich-media applications. The Cisco 2900 Series provides 2 or 3 onboard PVDM3 slots, depending on the platform.
