Whether you want to implement new branch initiatives, optimize existing WAN investments, add head-end innovations, or secure WAN connectivity, Cisco ONE for WAN gives you the software tools to accomplish your goals.
Cisco ONE Foundation for WAN
Complete application view of the network with granular control over each application
● Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC) provides application-level classification, monitoring, and traffic control to improve the performance of business-critical applications. The Cisco AVC solution helps to identify and classify over 1000 on-premises and cloud applications; monitor application response time, latency, jitter, and other performance metrics; export application performance metrics with the Cisco IOS® NetFlow v9 feature or IP Information Flow Export (IPFIX); and set different priorities and dynamically choose network paths based on application and business needs.
● Flexible NetFlow is the next-generation in flow technology allowing optimization of the network infrastructure, reduced operation costs, improved capacity planning, and security incident detection with increased flexibility and scalability. Flexible NetFlow has many benefits above the Cisco traditional NetFlow functionality that has been available for years in Cisco hardware and software.
● Network-Based Application Recognition Version 2 (or Next Generation NBAR) enhances the application recognition engine to support more than 1000 applications and subclassfications. NBAR2 also provides additional capabilities, such as application attributes, which provide grouping of applications with similar properties into category, subcategory, application group, etc. NBAR2’s categorization of protocols into meaningful terms simplifies report aggregation and control configuration. NBAR2 also provides field extraction capability, such as HTTP URL, SIP domain, mail server, etc., which allows you to extract information from the application for classification or exporting.
● Performance Routing Version 3 (PfRv3) is the evolution of Performance Routing (PfR). PfRv3 is an intelligent-path control mechanism for improving application delivery and WAN efficiency. It protects critical applications, increases bandwidth utilization, and serves as an integral part of the Cisco Intelligent WAN (IWAN) solution. PfRv3 uses Differentiated Services Code Points (DSCPs) and an application-based policy framework to provide multisite-aware bandwidth and path-control optimization.
Complete network threat identification, mitigation, and elimination
● IP Security (IPsec) VPN is a robust, standards-based encryption technology that enables your organization to securely connect branch offices and remote users and provides significant cost savings compared to traditional WAN access such as Frame Relay or ATM. One of the most widely deployed network security technologies today, IPsec VPNs provide high levels of security through encryption and authentication, protecting data from unauthorized access.
● Cisco TrustSec security simplifies the provisioning and management of secure access to network services applications. Unlike access control mechanisms that are based on network topology, Cisco TrustSec policies use logical groupings, so access is consistently maintained even as resources are moved in mobile and virtualized networks. Decoupling access entitlements from IP addresses and VLANs simplifies security-policy maintenance tasks, lowers operational costs, and allows common access policies to be consistently applied to wired, wireless, and VPN access.
● Router-based SSL VPN an industry first, offers "anywhere" connectivity not only from company-managed resources but also from employee-owned PCs, contractor or business partner desktops, and Internet kiosks. Cisco Secure Desktop, a component of SSL VPN, provides data theft prevention even on noncorporate devices.
● MAC Security (MACsec) provides secure communication on wired LANs. When MACsec is used to secure the communication between endpoints on a LAN, each packet on the wire is encrypted using symmetric key cryptography so that communication cannot be monitored or altered on the wire.
● Zone-based firewall offers intuitive policies for multiple-interface routers, increased granularity of firewall policy application, and a default deny-all policy that prohibits traffic between firewall security zones until an explicit policy is applied to allow desirable traffic.
WAN acceleration and MPLS
● Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) and virtual WAAS (vWAAS) are the first cloud-ready WAN-optimization solutions to accelerate applications delivered from private and virtual private cloud infrastructure, using policy-based on-demand orchestration.
● Cisco AppNav-XE is integrated into Cisco IOS XE software to enable on-demand elastic provisioning and pooling of Cisco WAAS and vWAAS resources. It provides robust virtualization, control, and management capabilities and enables a more natural migration to the cloud.
● Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) enables enterprises and service providers to build next-generation intelligent networks that deliver a wide variety of advanced, value-added services over a single infrastructure. This economical solution can be integrated transparently into any existing infrastructure, such as IP, Frame Relay, ATM, or Ethernet. Subscribers with differing access links can be aggregated on an MPLS edge without changing their current environments, as MPLS is independent of access technologies.
Network management
● Cisco Prime® Infrastructure is network management that connects the network to the device to the user to the application: end to end and all in one. Its capabilities permit simplified deployment of Cisco value-added features and single pane of glass management. It increases application visibility and serves as the core management solution for wireless and wired lifecycle management and assurance.
Cisco ONE WAN Collaboration
Unified communication and IP telephony for the network
● Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express unifies all your voice, video, data, and mobile applications for collaboration for your independent branch offices.
● Cisco Unified Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) extends your centralized unified communications deployment to a resilient branch office that continues to operate during a WAN or central office failure.
● Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE), Cisco’s session border controller, allows control of SIP services with registered external entities, most commonly service providers that offer Voice over IP (VoIP) services based on the SIP or H.323 protocol.
● Cisco TDM gateways offer a variety of different voice network modules to deliver IP connectivity to the public switched telephone network, Private Branch Exchange (PBX), or an analog device. They also provide toll-bypass services within an enterprise network.
