Cisco Unified WAN Services can help transform the WAN from a connectivity and data-transport hub, to a converged conduit for information, communications, collaboration, and commerce.
The Unified WAN Services solution can help your business:
Simplify operational complexities
Meet current and future WAN infrastructure needs
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Increase Return on Investment (RoI)
Enhance business productivity
The foundation of the Cisco Unified WAN Services is the ability to provide a set of core services over the enterprise network to the end users of the network. These services include:
High-performance services, for increased WAN edge
infrastructure performance for voice, video, data, and mobility services
Integrated security, to provide full WAN security, data protection, and compliance
Nonstop communications deliver a highly available WAN infrastructure
Application intelligence that enables consistent service delivery
All of these services are delivered in a cost-effective and operationally efficient manner to provide enterprises with improved total cost of ownership and enhanced investment protection.
High Performance Services
The emergence of new business applications and a new communication paradigm has caused an unprecedented increase in bandwidth and scalability requirements for the WAN. The Unified WAN Services solution helps the enterprise to deliver higher-performance, higher-bandwidth voice, video, data, and wireless services over their converged WANs, along with the network intelligence and capacity headroom to operate efficiently.
Businesses need to satisfy industry regulations regarding data privacy and adhere to regulations such as SOX, PCI, and HIPAA. Customers need the WAN edge infrastructure to: deliver network resiliency with a self-defending architecture; secure all critical business information without slowing performance; integrate and embed security services within the network to reduce dependence on standalone devices; provide high-speed inspection of traffic flows to support attack prevention, policy enforcement, and application security.
The Unified WAN Services solution offers a portfolio of platforms featuring built-in, multilevel threat detection and containment with scalable, highly available, embedded security services.
Enterprises need to provide 24-hour, uninterrupted access to applications and services over the WAN. This provision requires a more highly available, resilient, and adaptive infrastructure than they might have today. The Unified WAN Services solution offers enterprises a blueprint for a highly available WAN infrastructure to ensure business continuity and provide business-critical resiliency.
As applications such as unified communications, digital video, conferencing, and collaboration become more interactive and real time, the need to reduce application latency is paramount. The user experience and acceptance of these new, business-enhancing applications relies upon their responsiveness. The Unified WAN Services solution helps enterprises meet demanding internal service-level agreements (SLAs), with improved service delivery and application performance over the WAN.
To increase business efficiency, enterprises are challenged to meet increasingly stringent internal SLAs while maintaining a cap on operational expenses. The Cisco Unified WAN Services framework can change the parameters of this equation by reducing and optimizing total WAN operating costs through effective bandwidth usage, and overlay network and device consolidation, power efficiencies, and service integration
The Cisco Unified WAN Services platforms help you transform the WAN from a reliable connectivity and data-transport hub to a converged conduit for information, communications, collaboration, and commerce.
The Cisco 7200 Series routers, Cisco 7600 Series routers, Catalyst 6500 Series switches, and the new innovative Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers as part of the overall Cisco Unified WAN Services Solution deliver the capabilities of high-performance services, integrated security, nonstop communications, and application intelligence on your WAN to unite the campus, data center, and branch network elements, as well as provide a compelling blueprint for achieving your business objectives in a cost-efficient manner.
The Cisco 7200 series is the industrys most widely deployed universal services aggregation router for enterprise and service provider edge applications.
The Cisco 7600 Series is the industry's first carrier-class edge router to offer integrated, high-density Ethernet switching, carrier-class IP/MPLS routing, and 10-Gbps interfaces,
Ciscos flagship switching solution, Cisco Catalyst 6500 IPsec VPN aggregation and Data Center Interconnect solutions solve the problem of providing secure, scalable, and simple virtualizations deployment over the WAN.
