Cisco 3900 Series Key Business Benefits The Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) provides superior services integration and agility. Designed for scalability, the modular architecture of these platforms enables you to evolve and adapt with your growing business needs. The table below lists the business benefits of the Cisco 3900 Series. Benefit Services Integration Services On Demand High Performance with Integrated Services Network Agility Description • The Cisco 3900 Series routers offer increased levels of services integration with voice, video, security, mobility, and data services. • The Cisco 3900 Series provides the highest performance and slot densities among the routers in the Cisco ISR G2 portfolio, enabling you to maximize services integration and reducing overall capital and operational costs. • A single Cisco IOS® Software Universal image is installed on each ISR G2. The Universal image contains all of the Cisco IOS technology sets which can be activated with a software license. This allows your business to quickly deploy advanced features without downloading a new IOS image. Additionally, larger default memory is included to support the new capabilities. • The Cisco Services Ready Engine (SRE) enables a new operational model which allows you to reduce capital expenditures (CapEx) and deploy a variety of application services as needed on a single integrated compute services module. • The Cisco 3900 Series enables deployment in high speed WAN environments with concurrent services enabled (150 Mbps with Cisco 3945 and 100 Mbps with Cisco 3925). • A multigigabit fabric (MGF) enables high-bandwidth module-to-module communication without compromising router performance. • Designed to address customer business requirements, the Cisco 3900 Series with the modular architecture offers increased capacity and performance as your network needs grow. • The Services Performance Engine (SPE) modular motherboard enables upgrades to processing capability in the future. • Dual integrated power supplies provide power redundancy or can be configured to provided additional ePOE power to endpoints. • Modular interfaces offer increased bandwidth, a diversity of connection options, and network resiliency. Cisco 3900 Series Key Business Benefits continued Benefit Energy Efficiency Investment Protection Description • The Cisco 3900 Series architecture provides energy-savings features that include the following: • The Cisco 3900 Series offers intelligent power management and allows the customer to control power to the modules based on the time of day. Cisco EnergyWise technology will be supported in the future. • Services integration and modularity on a single platform performing multiple functions, optimizing raw materials consumption and energy usage. • Platform flexibility and ongoing development of both hardware and software capabilities lead to a longer product lifecycle, lowering all aspects of the total cost of ownership, including materials and energy use. • High efficiency power supplies and scalable power consumption based on your network needs. • The Cisco 3900 Series maximizes investment protection by supporting: • Reuse of a broad array of existing modules supported on the original Integrated Services Routers provides a lower cost of ownership • A rich set of Cisco IOS Software features carried forward from the original integrated services routers and delivered in a single universal image. • The Cisco 3900 Series offers extensive growth possibilities as your network expands: • Services Performance Engine (SPE) modular motherboard enables flexibility to upgrades in the future. • Highest scale for module density provides flexibility to add services as your business needs expand. • 1GB default memory provides head-room to minimize field upgrades. 118 119
