Integrated Security
A comprehensive portfolio of proven and integrated multi-gigabit security services modules are available with the Catalyst 6500 Series . Integrated network security simplifies operations and reduces total cost of ownership .Cisco Catalyst 6500 security service modules include intrusion detection, firewall, scalable IPSec VPN solutions and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) .
Services Integration and Flexibility
Catalyst 6500 Series application intelligence with PISA technology helps ensure application performance and security in converged data, voice, video, and wireless Campus and WAN environments . Catalyst 6500 supports a wide range of integrated and advanced services such as security, wireless LAN, and Layer 4-7 content services; provides the widest range of interfaces and densities from 10/100/1000 Ethernet to 10
Gigabit, and DS-0 to OC-192; and performs in deployments from the data center, to the Campus and WAN edge.
Scalable Performance
Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series provides up to 400 Mbps performance with a distributed forwarding architecture that supports a mix of Cisco Express Forwarding implementations and switch-fabric speeds for optimal data center, campus, and WAN edge deployments, as well as service provider networks . Catalyst 6500 Series
provides consistent and scalable routing services to maximize application performance to branch
offices over the WAN with advanced IOS routing solutions .
Operational Consistency
Featuring 3-, 4-, 6-, 9-, and 13-slot chassis configurations, Catalyst 6500 Series shares a common set of modules, Cisco IOS Software, Cisco Catalyst Operating System Software, and network management tools . Catalyst 6500 Series can be deployed across the network from the core network to the WAN and Internet edge, simplifying network operations and reducing spares expense .
Validated Solutions
All Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series applications are tested in Safe Harbor, with the recent addition of enterprise WAN applications for an End-to-End tested solution.
