Cisco vWAAS on Cisco ISR-WAAS
This chapter describes how to use Cisco vWAAS on Cisco ISR-WAAS, and contains the following sections:
About Cisco ISR-WAAS
Cisco ISR-WAAS is the specific implementation of Cisco vWAAS running in a Cisco IOS-XE software container on a Cisco ISR-4400 Series router. Container in this context refers to a KVM hypervisor that runs virtualized applications on the Cisco ISR-4400 Series router.
Table 3-1 shows the default number of CPUs, memory capacity, disk storage, and supported Cisco ISR platforms for each Cisco ISR model.

Note
For Cisco vWAAS in Cisco WAAS Version 6.2.3x or later, Cisco ISR-4321 with profile ISR-WAAS-200, ISR-WAAS RAM can be increased from 3 GB to 4 GB. For this increase in ISR-WAAS RAM to be implemented, you must complete a new OVA deployment of Cisco WAAS version 6.2.3x or later; the increase in ISR-WAAS RAM is not automatically implemented with an upgrade to Cisco WAAS Version 6.2.3x or later.
