Cisco2821-AA-K9, Cisco 2821, Basic Wan Optimization Bundle, 64F, 256D.
The Cisco WAN optimization solutions offer the industry's most integrated, yet flexible and cost-effective bandwidth management solutions. An integrated services solution in the branch router is the logical point of consolidation for WAN optimization technologies, such as compression, caching, wide-area application services, quality of service (QoS), and access control, because it sits at the WAN/LAN interface where bottlenecks can efficiently be mitigated and critical network services (voice over IP [VoIP], security, QoS, and Multiprotocol Label Switching [MPLS]) need to be deployed. Cisco Layer 2 integrated compression, combined with a content engine object and sequence caching module, provide WAN bandwidth management that improves application response time on congested links by reducing the amount of data sent across the WAN. Layer 2 compression provides many benefits over standalone compression appliances by providing a tightly integrated solution that interoperates with critical Cisco IOS Software features and services such as QoS, policy-based routing (PBR), network-based application recognition (NBAR), Network Address Translation (NAT), and access control lists (ACLs). |
