Data Sheet Cisco Services-Ready Engine Compact, Versatile, High-Performance Router Blade ® The Cisco Services-Ready Engine (SRE) modules are router blades for the Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) that provide the capability to host Cisco, third-party, and custom applications. The modules have their own processors, storage, network interfaces, and memory that operate independently of the host router resources, helping ensure maximum concurrent routing and application performance. Moreover, the modules come in two compact form factors designed to reduce physical footprint, lower power consumption, and simplify hardware installation at the branch office. The Cisco SRE includes a software controller that enables you to install applications on the module remotely at any time. This solution can help your organization quickly deploy new branch-office applications on demand, reduce operating costs, and consolidate the branch-office infrastructure. Cisco SRE offers the next-generation application hosting platform that combines networking, collaboration, compute and storage services, and centralized management into a cohesive system designed to simplify infrastructure, support evolving business needs, and reduce operating costs at the branch office. It integrates all elements necessary to optimize branch-office IT infrastructure for delivery of applications from the data center and deployment of branch-office applications on demand, and houses them under a single chassis - the Cisco ISR G2. Figure 1 shows the Cisco SRE Internal Service Module (ISM) and the Cisco SRE Service Module (SM), and Table 1 summarizes features and benefits of the modules. Figure 1.

Consolidation at the Branch Office Organizations today are turning to server centralization and consolidation of branch-office infrastructure in order to reduce cost and complexity of their IT systems. These initiatives, while delivering the sought-after benefits, often create a new set of challenges: ● Application performance: Business-critical applications hosted centrally must provide performance and user experience as if they were hosted locally. ● Application survivability: Applications and network services vital to business transactions at the branch office must function during a WAN...

On-Demand Application Provisioning You can easily install, replace, or uninstall applications from the Cisco SRE hosting infrastructure using familiar Cisco device and network management tools. The management tools allow you to replace one type of application with a different, even unrelated type of application on one or a group of Cisco SREs. Moreover, you can deploy the Cisco SRE in the branch office without any application when the network is being installed and quickly provision it with a supported application at a later time. Finally, you can use the same, consistent hardware footprint...

Centralized Management and Troubleshooting You can provision and manage applications hosted on the Cisco SRE with Cisco Configuration Professional, the command-line interface (CLI), and CiscoWorks LMS. These familiar network management (Table 5) tools offer both single- and multidevice management options. In addition, the Cisco SRE modules come with an onboard hardware diagnostic tool for monitoring the health of the hardware or troubleshooting problems. Centralized management for Cisco SRE modules provides the following features: ● Automated discovery reports the type, capacity, and...
