Cisco has announced it is enhancing its integrated
services routers with the launch of two services modules to deliver
wide area network optimisation and to accelerate
applications.
The modules are designed to boost application performance by
eliminating Wan bottlenecks when accessing files and applications
from datacentres. The networking and router company has also
integrated its Wide Area Application Acceleration Services (WAAS)
software into its integrated services routers.
Cisco has introduced “tunnel-less” virtual private network (VPN)
technology based on a group encrypted transport (GET) designed
to offer data encryption security without sacrificing quality of
service.
GET VPN offers scalable, secure any-to-any connectivity that can
be used in a variety of Wan environments, including Multiprotocol
Label Switching, without point-to-point tunnels.
Voice, video and collaborative features in the integrated
services routers have also been enhanced.
The announcement marks the sale of more than two million Cisco
integrated services routers worldwide, according to the
company.
