Minimize WAN Optimization Total Cost of Ownership

The Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) network modules provide integrated WAN optimization with Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR), enabling you to implement full feature WAN optimization while minimizing total cost of ownership:

• Accelerate business applications and minimize WAN bandwidth usage
• Simplify deployment and management
• Help lower the costs and complexities of your network

The purpose-built Cisco WAAS network modules, with dedicated processor, disk, and memory, deliver the performance and cost advantages required for accelerating mission-critical business applications to the most demanding enterprise branch environments.

The Cisco WAAS network modules can run on the powerful Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series Integrated Services Routers, and leverage these router capabilities:

• Quality of Service (QoS): Allocating bandwidth intelligently and improving VoIP and other latency-sensitive traffic
• Performance Routing (PfR): Routing specific applications on WAN links with higher security, lower cost, lower latency, or higher priority (QoS)
• Integrated Services: Reducing costs due to less staff training, less device footprint, and reduced support fees
