The Cisco 7000 family of high-end internetworking platforms delivers
the exceptional performance and availability needed for today's
mission-critical networks. Built using leading-edge
technology from Cisco Systems, the Cisco 7000 family offers unmatched
performance and a clear path to next-generation technologies, including
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM).
Cisco Systems is the leading supplier of reliable, high-performance and
high-efficiency communication backbone solutions and StrataCom is the
pioneer of cell switching technology and a leading supplier of
high-performance wide-area network (WAN) switching systems in both the
Frame Relay and ATM markets. Cisco and StrataCom have joined forces to
provide ATM and Frame Relay high-speed wide-area network (WAN)
switching equipment that integrates and transports a wide variety of
information to provide end-to-end multimedia solutions across public,
private, or hybrid networks.
Cisco Systems provides the strategy, products and technologies to meet the
demand for more bandwidth and throughput in workgroup networks. With
Cisco's Switching Solutions, users can migrate from today's world of
shared 10BaseT to the more powerful options that are either available now
or coming soon -- options such as switched local-area networks (LANs);
high-speed LANs such as Copper Distributed Data Interface (CDDI), or Fiber
Distributed Data Interface (FDDI); the various types of Fast Ethernet,
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and Gigabit Ethernet.
The integration of telephony services into the data network has the potential to drive major changes in institutions by delivering information more pervasively and completely than today's multinetwork approach. Cisco's IP telephony products and Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions will leverage your exisiting productivity of individuals in enterprises worldwide. By marrying telephony and data infrastructures, a customer's network is easier to manage, expand, and over time, is less costly.
An open programmable switching platform such as the VCO/4K provides an open call model and standard API that supports the cost- effective and rapid development of core transport (e.g. Class 4) and enhanced (e.g. calling card) services. This is in contrast to proprietary central office switch solutions in which service providers source all the hardware, software, and applications from a single vendor. These "big iron" switches do not provide the rapid deployment of enhanced voice services demanded by today's competitive market.
Cisco solutions tailored for small- to medium-sized businesses to increase LAN
performance and seamlessly integrate office LANs with remote sites and the
Internet. These products are available through your local reseller.
Cisco's Access Solutions give you seamless asynchronous and ISDN remote
access for enterprise telecommuting, Internet access, branch-site
connectivity, and education. Cisco's end-to-end remote access products
protect your investments with a complete solution, delivered as a wide
range of interoperable hardware and software options. That includes
integrated, easy-to-use remote access software, tamper-proof security, and
reliable, high-performance access servers at the enterprise end, all backed by
Cisco's powerful Internetwork Operating System (IOS) and familiar
central-site management software.
Cisco Systems offers a wide variety of ATM Solutions for your
internetworking environment: The Cisco LightStream 2020 is a multiservice
ATM switch for campus and wide-area applications; the LightStream 1010 is
Cisco Systems' next-generation ATM switch for workgroup and campus
backbone deployment. Cisco also offers ATM SBus and PCI Adapters, and ATM
modules for core routers, access routers, and LAN switches.
Cisco provides a broad range of products and solutions for the IBM
marketplace that maximize availability, scalability, performance,
flexibility, and management. Much of this functionality is available
through Cisco IOS software, which provides IBM internetworks with a clear
migration path to the future while protecting investments in existing
equipment and applications. Our new CiscoBlue strategy provides a roadmap for
IBM Internetworking customers who want to consolidate duplicate networks,
effectively manage SNA and non-SNA resources, and integrate IBM networks into
higher-speed switched internetworks.
Cisco's Internet Solutions are led by the CiscoAdvantage product suite,
which improves network managers' ability to cope with several challenges
posed by the growing popularity of the Internet, including security, high
volumes of network traffic and the shortage of network addresses.
CiscoAdvantage products are designed for use both by Internet service
providers and by companies who manage their own networks. They are
the first products of their kind that harness the intelligent capabilities of
internetworks to offer smarter services to network users who want to
access the World Wide Web.
Successfully using Internet technologies requires an increased need to protect valuable data and network resources from corruption and intrusion.
Cisco IOS(TM) software solutions, which address the end-to-end network
connectivity needs of small, medium, and enterprise customers, are
proliferated through Cisco's many partner and OEM relationships around
the world. Cisco IOS technologies provide network scalability,
modularity, portability, and embedded functionality, including
multimedia, security, network management, dialup, and Internet
applications.
Cisco provides applications that centralize management, automate routine
tasks, and can be integrated into customers' existing network management
environments. These include applications for enterprise and switched
internetwork management, remote monitoring, device management, ATM
management, simulation-based planning and problem-solving, performance
analysis, and more.
