Extend the role of the router to an application delivery platform with Cisco Integrated Services Router Generation 2 and Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers with Application Experience (AX).

This integrated solution includes Cisco Application Visibility and Control and Cisco Wide Area Application Services.

AX provides application services that:

Deliver business applications faster
Reduce bandwidth costs and latency by more than 50 percent
Simplify IT management

In addition, Cisco AX:

Delivers exceptional user experiences by meeting application-specific requirements
Helps securely connect users to applications deployed anywhere at scale
Provides application-level visibility and control of all passing traffic without probes
Validates application response time and network readiness

Cisco AX offers a powerful suite of application services at up to 30 percent lower cost than standalone WAN optimization appliances. It also provides more capabilities, such as:

Networkwide visibility to over 1000 applications
Granular control on application prioritization and path control
Enterprise-class optimization that increases application performance up to 70 percent
Industry-leading security services, including VPN and threat defense

With the option to add Cisco UCS E-Series server blades and Cisco Cloud Connectors to Cisco ISR-AX, you can build a complete virtualized application platform in one branch router.

Cisco ISR-AX is available on Cisco 4451-X, 3900, 2900, and 1900 Series Integrated Services Routers

And Cisco ISR-AX includes:

Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC), with NBAR2, QoS, and PfR
WAN optimization - Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS)
Security, including firewall, IP Security (IPsec) and SSL VPN
Cisco Services-Ready Engine (SRE) Modules or Max RAM (optional: UCS E-Series)

The Cisco ASR1000-AX is available on the ASR 1000 Series and includes:

Cisco Application Visibility and Control (AVC), with NBAR2, QoS, and PfR
WAN optimization - Cisco Virtual Wide Area Application Services (vWAAS) and Cisco AppNav
Security, including firewall, IP Security (IPsec) and SSL VPN
