4461 Integrated Services Router
Product Overview
The Cisc0 4000 Family Integrated Services Router (ISR) revolutionizes WAN communications in the enterprise branch. With new levels of built-in intelligent network capabilities and convergence, it specifically addresses the growing need for application-aware networking in distributed enterprise sites. These locations tend to have lean IT resources. But they often also have a growing need for direct communication with both private data centers and public clouds across diverse links, including Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs and the Internet.
The Cisc0 4000 Family contains the following platforms: the 4461, 4451, 4431, 4351, 4331, 4321 and 4221 ISRs.Features and Benefits Cisc0 4000 Family ISRs provide you with Cisc0® Software Defined WAN (SDWAN) software features and a converged branch infrastructure. Along with superior throughput, these capabilities form the building blocks of next-generation branch-office WAN solutions.
Cisc0 Software Defined WAN
Cisc0 SDWAN is a set of intelligent software services that allow you to reliably and securely connect users, devices, and branch office locations across a diverse set of WAN transport links. SDWAN-enabled routers like the ISR 4000 dynamically route traffic across the "best" link based on up-to-the-minute application and network conditions for great application experiences. You get tight control over application performance, bandwidth usage, data privacy, and availability of your WAN links - control that you need as your branches conduct greater volumes of mission-critical business.
Cisc0 Converged Branch Infrastructure
The Cisc0 4000 Series ISRs consolidate many must-have IT functions, including network, compute, and storage resources. The high-performance, integrated routers run multiple concurrent services, including encryption, traffic management, and WAN optimization, without slowing your data throughput. And you can activate new services on demand through a simple licensing change.
Cisc0 Intent Based Networking and Digital Network Architecture (Cisc0 DNA)
The last few years has seen a rapid transformation and adoption of digital technologies. This puts pressure on the on the Network teams supporting this changing infrastructure - especially when provisioning, managing, monitoring and troubleshooting these diverse devices. Additionally innovations such as Software Defined WAN (SDWAN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Open APIs and Cloud Management show great promise in transforming Organizations IT networks. This transformation raises further questions and challenges for the IT teams.
The Cisc0 Digital Network Architecture (Cisc0 DNA) is an open, extensible, software-driven architecture that provides for faster innovation, helping to generate deeper insights, and deliver exceptional experiences across many different applications. Cisc0 DNA relies on intent-based networking, a revolutionary approach in networking that helps organizations automate, simplify, and secure the network.
The intent-based Cisc0 DNA network is:
Informed by Context: Interprets every byte of data that flows across it, resulting in better security, more customized
experiences, and faster operations.
Powered by Intent: Translates your intent into the right network configuration, making it possible to manage and provision multiple devices and things in minutes.
Driven by Intuition: Continually learns from the massive amounts of data flowing through it and turns that data into actionable insight. Helps you solve issues before they become problems and learn from every incident.
Cisc0 DNA Center provides a centralized management dashboard across your entire network - the branch, campus, data center, and cloud. Rather than relying on box-by-box management, you can design, provision, and set policy end-to-end from the single Cisc0 DNA Center interface. This allows you to respond to organizational needs faster and to simplify day-to-day operations. Cisc0 DNA Analytics and Assurance and Cisc0 Network Data Platform (NDP) help you get the most from your network by continuously collecting and putting insights into action. Cisc0 DNA is open, extensible, and programmable at every layer. It integrates Cisc0 and third-party technology, open APIs, and a developer platform, to support a rich ecosystem of network-enabled applications.
