Cisco Systems extends enterprise-class versatility, integration, and power to branch offices with the Cisco 2600 series. The Cisco 2600 series' modular architecture provides the versatility needed to adapt to changes in network technology as new services and applications become available. Driven by a powerful RISC processor, the Cisco 2600 series supports advanced Quality of Service, security, and network integration features required in today's evolving networks. By integrating the functions of multiple separate devices into a single unit, the Cisco 2600 Series reduces the complexity of managing remote networks. The Cisco 2600 series shares modular interfaces with the Cisco 1600, 1720, and 3600 series, providing a cost-effective solution for applications such as Internet/intranet access, multiservice voice/data integration, analog and digital dial access services, VPN access, VLANs, and routing bandwidth management.
- Features:
- Versatility/investment protection-field-upgradeable modular interfaces enable thousands of customized solutions and easy migration to future network requirements
- Integration/manageability-lowers cost of ownership and improves ease of remote management, providing integrated "branch-in-a-box" networking that combines CSU/DSUs, multiplexors, modems, voice/data gateways, ISDN NT1s, firewalls, VPNs, encryption, and compression devices
- Multiservice voice/data networks-reduces phone costs between offices; using Cisco IOS QoS features, voice traffic digitized and encapsulated in IP packets and consolidated with data traffic
