Datasheet

Cisco WAAS Express is designed to help organizations address these challenges. Cisco WAAS Express extends

the Cisco WAAS product portfolio, with a small-footprint, cost-effective Cisco IOS Software-based software solution

integrated into the ISR G2 to offer bandwidth optimization and application acceleration capabilities. Cisco WAAS

Express increases remote user productivity, reduces WAN bandwidth costs, and offers investment protection by

interoperating with existing Cisco WAAS infrastructure. Cisco WAAS Express is unique in providing network

transparency, improving deployment flexibility with on-demand service enablement, and integrating with native

Cisco IOS Software-based services such as security, Netflow, and QoS.

Cisco WAAS Express is fully interoperable with WAAS on SM-SRE modules, WAAS appliances and can be

managed by a common WAAS Central Manager.

Cisco WAAS Express is available in Cisco IOS Software from Release 15.1(2)T1.

Managing Your Integrated Services Routers

Network Management applications are instrumental in lowering Operating Expenditures (OPEX) while improving

network availability by simplifying and automating many of the day-to-day tasks associated with managing an end-

to-end network. “Day-one-device-support” provides immediate manageability support for the Integrated Services

Router enabling quick and easy deployment, monitoring and troubleshooting from Cisco and third party

applications.

Organizations rely on Cisco, third-party and in-house developed network management applications to achieve their

Opex and productivity goals. Underpinning those applications are the embedded management features available in

every ISR. The new ISRs continue a tradition of broad and deep manageability features within the devices.

Features such as IPSLA, EEM, Netflow, allow you to know what's going on in your network at all times. These

features along with SNMP and SYSLOG support enable your organization’s management applications.
