United States: Cisco Launches ISR G2 Routers for Managed Services.Byline: datta03 Cisco s push towards making the network an application platform continues. With an eye toward that goal, the networking giant has launched a second-generation Integrated Services In computer networking, IntServ or integrated services is an architecture that specifies the elements to guarantee quality of service (QoS) on networks. IntServ can for example be used to allow video and sound to reach the receiver without interruption. Router (ISR (Interrupt Service Routine) Software routine that is executed in response to an interrupt. G2). Cisco is pitching the new routers to large MSPs that want to manage video and other emerging applications. Here s some perspective. True believes in the ISR G2 include Verizon, which plans to deliver a range of new services and applications using the new routers. Cisco claims the new 1900, 2900, and 3900 series models will be priced in the same neighborhood as their 1800, 2800, and 3800 series forebears, but with a fivefold fivefold Adjective 1. having five times as many or as much 2. composed of five parts Adverb by five times as many or as much Adj. 1. performance boost to help with bandwidth-heavy services like video. We really see this offering as key to delivering video services, says Mike Marcellin, Verizon s VP of Global Managed Solutions. For those not familiar with Cisco s ISR strategy, the company is striving to transition the world from Windows Server-centric applications to network-centric applications that offer security, VoIP telephony and videoconferencing A real time video session between two or more users or between two or more locations. Although the first videoconferencing was done with traditional analog TV and satellites, inhouse room systems became popular in the early 1980s after Compression Labs pioneered digitized video systems (among other opportunities). The ISR G2 is compatible with Cisco s AXP The brand name Digital gave to its first family of Alpha-based computers. In 1998, Digital was acquired by Compaq. See Alpha. (application eXtension platform), which allows Linux applications to run on Cisco s infrastructure. To give an idea of what AXP is capable of, Cisco recently awarded $50,000 to a team from Spain who put together an AXP application that enables their routers to control and automate air-conditioning, heating vents, plumbing, ventilation, and lighting. Other winners in that contest included an Indian team that developed an ad platform and a German team that developed a method of using IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. to find security breaches in branch offices. Still, it s unclear how many developers are actually writing to the AXP platform.
