Cisco bumps up ISR/ASR router performance and capacity
With an eye towards easing potential performance and capacity constraints at the edge of the network, Cisco has bumped up the performance and configuration options for its workhorse router families.
The networking vendor rolled out a new pluggable switching module (SM-X) for the Integrated Services Router (ISR) 4000 branch and a pluggable Embedded Services Process module (ESP-X) for its Aggregation Services Router (ASR) 1000 that promise improved switching, throughput and security features. And for on-premise or public cloud connectivity, management and security, Cisco added a 1100 Series Terminal Services Gateway.
