Key Business Benefits
The Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) provides superior services integration and agility.
Designed for scalability, the modular architecture of these platforms enables you to evolve and adapt with
your growing business needs. The table below lists the business benefits of the Cisco 3900 Series.
Benefit Description
Services Integration • The Cisco 3900 Series routers offer increased levels of services
integration with voice, video, security, mobility, and data services.
• The Cisco 3900 Series provides the highest performance and slot
densities among the routers in the Cisco ISR G2 portfolio, enabling you to
maximize services integration and reducing overall capital and operational
costs.
Services On Demand • A single Cisco IOS
G2. The Universal image contains all of the Cisco IOS technology sets
which can be activated with a software license. This allows your business
to quickly deploy advanced features without downloading a new IOS
image. Additionally, larger default memory is included to support the new
capabilities.
• The Cisco Services Ready Engine (SRE) enables a new operational model
which allows you to reduce capital expenditures (CapEx) and deploy a
variety of application services as needed on a single integrated compute
services module.
High Performance with • The Cisco 3900 Series enables deployment in high speed WAN
Integrated Services environments with concurrent services enabled (150 Mbps with Cisco
3945 and 100 Mbps with Cisco 3925).
• A multigigabit fabric (MGF) enables high-bandwidth module-to-module
communication without compromising router performance.
• Designed to address customer business requirements, the Cisco 3900
Network Agility
Series with the modular architecture offers increased capacity and
performance as your network needs grow.
• The Services Performance Engine (SPE) modular motherboard enables
upgrades to processing capability in the future.
• Dual integrated power supplies provide power redundancy or can be
configured to provided additional ePOE power to endpoints.
• Modular interfaces offer increased bandwidth, a diversity of connection
options, and network resiliency.
