CISCO 2600 FEATURES AND BENEFITS
As part of Ciscos comprehensive end-to-end networking
solution, the Cisco 2600 series supports the value of
end-to-end Cisco network solutions with the following
benefits:
-
Multiservice integration
-
Allows network managers to save long-distance
interoffice toll charges and enable next-generation
voice applications such as integrated messaging and
Web-based call centers.
-
Investment protection
-
Because the Cisco 2600 Series supports
field-upgradeable modular components, customers can
easily change network interfaces without a "forklift
upgrade" of the entire branch office solution. The
AIM slot of the Cisco 2600 platform further protects
investments by enabling new services such
hardware-assisted data compression and, in the
future, hardware-assisted data encryption without
using an external interface slot.
-
Reliability
-
To maximize network uptime, the Cisco 2600 Series
offers a redundant power supply (RPS), which can be
shared with other Cisco products. The Cisco 2600
Series also supports Cisco IOS reliability features
such as dial-on-demand routing (DDR) to restore both
data and voice services automatically in the event of
a primary link failure.
-
Lower cost of ownership
-
Integrating the functions of CSU/DSUs, ISDN Network
Termination (NTI) devices, modems, firewall,
compression and encryption devices and other
equipment found in branch office wiring closets in a
single, compact unit provides a space-saving solution
that can be managed remotely using network management
applications such as Cisco Works and CiscoView.
-
