Cisco Routers
New and Used Cisco Routers
The network router is quickly evolving from a device dedicated to
connecting disparate networks to an integrated services device capable
of multiple functions beyond routing. Cisco customers are increasingly
deploying integrated services routers, or sophisticated network routers
that can deliver voice, video, data and Internet access, wireless, and
other applications.

The Value of Integrating Applications in the Network
Businesses today demand more from their networks than ever before.
Networks today now need to support all forms of media—including data,
voice, and video—to enhance business communications and lower operating
costs. Access has also changed, as thousands of new devices connect to
the network via wireless and wired connections.
To solve these pressing challenges, organizations need their networks to
contain intelligence and play an active role in securely integrating
applications in a way that is easy to manage. Intelligent networks
integrate many advanced applications into an adaptable, pervasive, and
collaborative system.
Integrated Security: In today's environment , a mix of
point-product solutions is no longer sufficient protection. Network
security must be pervasive and integrated into the fabric of the network
infrastructure itself. The network becomes the main point of control for
preventing and responding to security threats from internal and external
sources. An integrated strategy includes multiple types of protection
and dramatically improves the ability of networks to identify, prevent,
and adapt to security threats. Such systems help to ensure information
privacy, protect against threats, and control access to corporate
resources.
IP Communications: Voice, video, and other types of
data are woven into a converged network. IP Communications—which
includes IP telephony as well as unified messaging and voicemail;
customer contact applications; and audio, Web, and rich-media
conferencing tools—demonstrates the power of an intelligent network.
Tight integration into the infrastructure means that each new
application—video, Web, or telephony—is just another media type rather
than an entirely different communications system. The applications
themselves can intelligently communicate with the infrastructure to meet
the constantly changing needs of the system.
Wireless: Wireless cannot be viewed as an isolated
application, especially when wireless access points scale into the
hundreds or thousands. An intelligent network provides the framework
that enables a wireless LAN solution to take full advantage of existing
tools, knowledge, and resources of the wired infrastructure to address
critical wireless LAN security, deployment, and control issues.
IP-based voice, wireless, and security are only the first in a new wave
of advanced applications that are beginning to powerfully change the
ways in which businesses operate. Organizations must consider how they
can best enable their networks today so that their companies can
continuously take advantage of new applications quickly, secure them
easily, and manage them efficiently in pursuit of their business goals.
