Cisco Rolls Out Catalyst 6500 Series
Cisco has launched the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 32 with programmable intelligent services accelerator (PISA) technology. The company has also introduced a blueprint for network services called the Campus Communication Fabric that guides information technology (IT) managers through the transformation of their network into a strategic platform for all communications and collaboration.
Cisco Catalyst 6500 is claimed to be the first modular switch to integrate the ability to analyse stateful and stateless application traffic flows for proactive security protection, compliance with corporate policies and management of network resource utilisation.
These innovations help IT managers optimise business-critical applications, control non-business applications and meet governance risk and compliance regulations. "Cisco continues to build innovative solutions with advanced features that meet our customers' current and future application performance and high-security needs for the LAN, MAN and WAN," said Marie Hattar, senior director, Cisco Network Systems.
"Companies can now consider the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 32 with PISA and Cisco 7201 Router for a complete, end-to-end network services infrastructure that can easily grow and evolve with their business needs." Catalyst 6500 has evolved into both a modular switch and a router with high port density and wide-area network (WAN) routing in a single chassis.
Cisco 7201 is a new compact, high-performance router in the Cisco 7200 series. The new Supervisor Engine 32 with PISA also provides distributed protection against notable worms and viruses and day-zero attacks in the campus edge using flexible packet matching (FPM) technology. These new capabilities are hardware accelerated on the new Supervisor Engine 32 with PISA and therefore can scale to multi-gigabit speeds.
Cisco Catalyst 6500 with integrated services such as firewalls, IP Security (IPsec) and embedded application-aware intelligence makes the latest addition of PISA technology well-suited for enterprise WAN edge deployments.
