data centers and collaboration services as a series of network access control and entitlement solutions. A key
product line within our security product category is the Cisco ASA 5500 Series Adaptive Security Appliances
line.
Wireless
The Cisco Unified Wireless Network is designed to unify high-performance 802.11n wireless access across
campus, branch, remote, and outdoor environments. This wireless system strives to maximize flexibility and
reliability with its access point, controller, antenna, and integrated management products. Simplified
management and mobile device troubleshooting are features of the platform designed to reduce operational cost.
This platform delivers, through an open application programming interface (API), business-relevant mobility
data, voice, video, and context-aware applications to partners and end-user customers. A current key product line
within our wireless technology category is the Cisco Aironet product family.
Data Center
Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) and Server Virtualization form the core of Cisco’s Data Center
products. The UCS platform unites computing, network, storage access, and virtualization into a cohesive
system. Key products within our UCS platform are Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers and Cisco UCS C-Series
Rack-Mount Servers supported by fabric interconnects which include our lossless FCoE interconnect switch that
consolidates input/output within the system, server chassis, fabric extenders, and network adapters.
Cisco Application Networking Services consist of a broad portfolio of application networking solutions designed
to enable secure, high performance, reliable delivery of applications within data centers and across WANs to
remote and branch office users. Our solutions are designed to help facilitate the deployment and delivery of
business applications across an entire organization by using technology to accelerate, maximize availability of,
and secure both application traffic and computing resources. A key product within our application networking
services category is Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS), a comprehensive WAN optimization
solution that is enabled for SaaS-based applications and the Integrated Service Router G2’s Services Ready
Engine.
We provide storage area networking (SAN) products for data center environments designed to deliver multilayer,
scalable, and highly secure connectivity between servers and storage systems, including products such as storage
arrays and tape drives. These products incorporate intelligent network features, such as advanced network
security, traffic management, server virtualization, SAN consolidation and pay-as-you-grow flexibility to permit
users to scale from an entry-level departmental switch to edge connectivity in enterprise SANs, and also
incorporate tools that are designed to help make storing, retrieving, and protecting critical data across widely
distributed environments more efficient. The Cisco MDS 9000 Series of configurable Fiber Channel fabric
switches is currently the key product line within our storage area networking product category.
Other Products
Our Other Products category primarily consists of optical networking products, emerging technologies such as
physical security and video surveillance, and digital media systems.
