Integrated Services
Figure 2 also highlights the fact that with the unique integrated services architecture of the Cisco 2800 Series,
customers can now securely deploy IP Communications with traditional IP routing while leaving interface and
module slots available for additional advanced services. With the optional integration of a wide array of services
modules, the Cisco 2800 Series offers the ability to easily integrate the functions of standalone network appliances
and components into the Cisco 2800 Series chassis itself. Many of these modules, such as the Cisco Network
Analysis Module, Cisco Voice Mail Module, Cisco Intrusion Detection Module, Wide Area Application Services
Module, and Cisco Content Engine Module, have embedded processors and hard drives that allow them to run
largely independently of the router while allowing management from a single management interface. This flexibility
greatly expands the potential applications of the Cisco 2800 Series beyond traditional routing while still maintaining
the benefits of integration. These benefits include ease of management, lower solution costs (CAPEX and OPEX),
and increased speed of deployment.
