Network Security - Cisco 2900 Series Datasheet

Coupled with Cisco Unity
voice response (IVR), the Cisco 2900 Series offers the branch office a complete range of unified communications
services while delivering industry-leading security within a single platform.
VoiceXML Application Services
The Cisco 2900 Series also supports standards-certified VoiceXML browser services. VoiceXML is an open-
standard markup language used to create voice-enabled web browsers and IVR applications. Just as HTML
enables you to retrieve data with a PC, VoiceXML enables you to retrieve data using voice or dual-tone-
multifrequency (DTMF) telephony input. The Cisco 2900 Series can deliver a much higher range of concurrent
voice-gateway services combined with VoiceXML browser services, for up to 200 sessions on the Cisco 2951.
Cisco Unified Border Element
The Cisco Unified Border Element capabilities supported on the Cisco 2900 Series address the emerging
requirements in an IP-centric interconnect for branch-office unified communications between enterprises and
service provider networks. Cisco Unified Border Element provides intelligent border-element functions such as
physical and logical ingress and egress demarcation points, signaling and media control, and consolidated security
and management features. The Cisco 2900 Series supports higher scale than previously provided on the Cisco
2800 Series, up to three times the number of sessions.
Integrated Network Security for Data, Voice, Video, and Mobility
Security is essential to protect a business' intellectual property while also ensuring business continuity and
providing the ability to extend the corporate workplace to employees who need anytime, anywhere access to
company resources. As part of the Cisco' SAFE architectural framework that allows organizations to identify,
prevent, and adapt to network security threats, the Cisco 2900 Series Integrated Services Routers facilitate secure
business transactions and collaboration.
The Cisco IOS Software Security technology package for the Cisco 2900 Series offers a wide array of common
security features such as advanced application inspection and control, threat protection, and encryption
architectures for enabling more scalable and manageable VPN networks. The Cisco 2900 Series offers onboard
hardware-based encryption acceleration to provide greater IPSec throughput with less overhead for the route
processor when compared with software-based encryption solutions. Cisco Integrated Services Routers offer a
comprehensive and adaptable security solution for branch offices that includes features such as:
●
Secure connectivity: Secure collaborative communications with Group Encrypted Transport VPN,
Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN), or Enhanced Easy VPN
● Integrated threat control: Responding to sophisticated network attacks and threats using Cisco IOS
Firewall, Cisco IOS Zone-Based Firewall, Cisco IOS IPS, Cisco IOS Content Filtering, and Flexible Packet
Matching (FPM)
●
Identity management: Intelligently protecting endpoints using technologies such as authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA) and public key infrastructure (PKI)
