Get a Faster Return on Investment
Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) solutions for Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR) platforms help enable the distributed organization to implement full-feature WAN optimization with fast return on investment. Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) solutions for ISR platforms include
- Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) Software version 4.5 software on ISR Services-Ready Engine (SRE) modules for ISR Generation 2 (G2). SRE modules can host Cisco, third-party, and custom applications. The service-ready deployment model enables branch-office applications, including Cisco WAAS WAN optimization, to be provisioned on demand, without a physical visit to the branch.
Cisco WAAS is available for SRE-700 and SRE-900 modules, with flexible licensing and deployment options. - Cisco WAAS software on dedicated modules for ISR.
Module and ISR Availability Table
| Module | ISR 2900 and 3900 series | SR 2800 and 3800 series |
|---|---|---|
| SRE-710 | ● |

SRE and dedicated network modules have their own processors, storage, network interfaces, and memory. These operate independently of the host router resources and help ensure optimum concurrent WAN optimization and routing performance.
Innovative features specific to the Services Ready Engine (SRE) Service Modules include
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| On-demand provisioning | Provision solutions, such as Cisco WAAS, at the time of installation, or remotely anytime thereafter, to eliminate on-site IT visits |
| Flexible ordering | Cisco WAAS software for SRE may be ordered
|
| Redundant disk on SRE - 900 | One-to-one disk drive redundancy increases availability and robustness. Disk drives are field replaceable and hot swappable. |
| Integrated Cisco WAAS and Cisco ISR configuration | Reduces deployment complexity and enables faster time to service |
