Cisco CISCO2620XM

The Cisco 2600 Series supports a wide range of performance and scalability for branch-office networking solutions, allowing businesses to extend a cost-effective, transparent network infrastructure to the branch office with the following benefits:
• Investment protection-Support for field-upgradable, modular components on the Cisco 2600 Series allows customers to easily change network interfaces without a complete system upgrade of the entire branch-office network. The AIM slot(s) further protects investments by offering the expandability to support advanced services such as hardware-assisted data compression, data encryption, ATM data and voice access, or DSP digital voice applications.

• Lower cost of ownership-By integrating the functions of switches, channel service units (CSUs), data service units (DSUs), ISDN Network Termination 1 (NT1) devices, firewalls, modems, compression or encryption devices, and other equipment found in branch-office wiring closets in a single, compact unit, the Cisco 2600 Series provides a space-saving solution that is more manageable.

• Integrated flexible routing and low-density switching-With support of an optional 16-port 10/100 Cisco EtherSwitch® Network Module, branch offices can take advantage of the flexibility of integrated routing and switching functions in one unit for low port densities. This offers high-speed connections between individual desktops, servers, and other network resources in a single unit for Layer 2 and allows WAN connection at Layer 3 through the router. An optional external power chassis provides in-line power to IP phones and to Cisco Aironet® 802.11 base stations.

• Integration of content networking and branch-office routing-With the integration of an optional content-engine network module with branch-office routing, Cisco offers the industry's first and only router-integrated content-delivery system. Combining intelligent caching, content routing, and management with robust branch-office routing, WAN bandwidth is conserved for important branch IP services such as voice over IP (VoIP), while simplifying configuration, deployment, and operations.

• Voice and data integration-Cisco offers the industry's broadest, most scalable multiservice voice and data integration solution set. The Cisco 2600 Series allows network managers to provide scalable analog and digital telephony without investing in a one-time solution, giving enterprises greater control of their converged telephony needs.

• Enterprise and provider-class solution-This solution meets the requirements of multiservice enterprises and their managed service customer-premises-equipment (CPE) providers with high-reliability features, multiple WAN connections, and the ability to migrate from data-only to time-division multiplexing (TDM) voice and from data to packetized voice and data infrastructure.

• Increased memory capacity on Cisco 2600XMs-The memory capacity of the Cisco 2600XM platforms can now be increased to 256 MB of synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) using a new 128-MB SDRAM dual in-line memory module (DIMM). This new 128-MB DIMM offers higher-density memory, providing the ability to support memory increases to 256 MB of DRAM (with the correct ROMmon).
