Cisco ACE

Available, Scalable, and Energy Efficient Application Delivery
The Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Module for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers is a next-generation load-balancing and application delivery solution. A member of the Cisco family of Data Center 3.0 solutions, the module:

  • Helps ensure business continuity by increasing application availability
  • Improves business productivity by accelerating application and server performance
  • Reduces data center power, space, and cooling needs through a virtualized architecture
  • Helps lower operational costs associated with application provisioning and scaling

Improve Application and Server Efficiency

You can manage up to 16 Gbps of application traffic in a single module, and up to 64 Gbps with four modules, in a single Catalyst 6500 Series Switch chassis.

Flexible application traffic management, and offloading of CPU-intensive tasks such as SSL encryption and decryption processing and TCP session management, improve server efficiency.
