Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers

Accelerate Innovation at the Branch

The Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers (ISR) include a revolutionary converged branch platform with industry-leading network, compute, and WAN services. These routers can seamlessly extend cloud services across remote sites, and help you accelerate the digitization of your business. Use the 4000 Series to effectively transition to a hybrid WAN architecture.

Features and Capabilities

Cisco 4000 Series ISRs introduce new chassis, modules, and WAN services with a robust management framework and validated designs for the Cisco Intelligent WAN. Cisco 4000 platforms, together with Cisco UCS E-Series server modules, provide a flexible platform that can easily adapt to the changing application landscape. Use these routers to support all cloud applications on any device.

Cisco 4000 Series ISRs are designed to meet Gigabit forwarding performance needs while running the broadest set of network and application services on a single platform. They offer:

• High-quality user experience
  During peak loads, the multi-core CPU architecture running Cisco IOS-XE can enable resiliency by using separate control and data services planes.
• Faster response to business and user needs
  New pay-as-grow performance an services allows IT increase throughput and expand across a rich portfolio of on-demand network and application services with no truck rolls
• A wide range of connectivity options
  ISR 4000 supports integrated Gigabit Ethernet, T1/E1, T3/E3, PRI, xDSL, and more
• Unified communications
  Get comprehensive edge support for session border control, branch telephony survivability, TDM gateways, and more.

The 4000 Series simplifies:

• Operations and management
  Get IT automation for configuration, monitoring, and management through the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) Enterprise Module and an open ecosystem of partners.
• Branch infrastructure
  Reduce branch footprint and power consumption with an all-in-one platform that brings together network, compute, and storage. Customers can choose optional integrated compute and storage with Cisco UCS E-Series Servers for hosting applications and services.
• Meeting unplanned business requirements
  Deploying 4000 Series ISRs allows you to expand and pay for products only as your needs grow. Customers can standardize on a single platform and add services and capacity without disruptions or truck rolls.
