IOS Router Support From CCIE and CCNA Certified Experts
As computer technology advances, the distinction between routers and switches has grown less clear. Essentially, routers are Layer 3 (L3) devices designed to connect networks with one another. A common example is connecting a small business network to the Internet. Switches are instead Layer 2 (L2) devices that interconnect various devices within a network. Basically, routers rely on processors to send data based on complex algorithms, providing versatility at the cost of throughput. Switches, on the other hand, rely on largely fixed hardware designs to steer traffic at the highest possible speed. Today's routers ordinarily include L2 switches, and many of today’s switches include Layer 3 routing functionality. Routers developed by Cisco, the supplier of 90% of the world's routers, have advanced dramatically in function and performance and Cisco now makes an extensive portfolio that includes routers engineered to meet the needs of users ranging from individual telecommuters to nationwide service providers.
The most recent ISR routers from Cisco have the performance and built-in features to manage data voice and video plus virtual environments while at the same time providing fault tolerance, web-based management, seamless extensibility, and enhanced protection. Cisco's ISR routers enable your business to establish a solid foundation for an IT network that can evolve smoothly as you add new workers, establish new sites, activate new capabilities, extend your system to customers and partners, and support an an increasingly mobile workforce. Progent’s Cisco qualified CCIE network engineers offer immediate and affordable remote expertise to assist you to select, configure, administer, upgrade, and support Cisco's latest router technology and can help you to support your older routers or migrate efficiently to Cisco’s newer router solutions.

CUBE-based SIP trunks also support remote call agents in Cisco Call Center deployments.
Cisco Integrated Services Generation 2 Routers
Cisco's Integrated Services G2 routers are designed to offer branch offices of large businesses with enhanced video and voice applications, virtual networking, protection, and dependable WAN access. Integrated Services G2 routers introduce an architecture that protects past investments in service modules for older ISR routers and lowers down-the-line costs by allowing field installation of new modules as they become available. In comparison to older Integrated Services Routers, Cisco's Integrated Services Generation 2 routers offer 2-7 times higher performance, far greater expandability, and easier support. All Cisco Integrated Services G2 routers support GE switching and include multi-core CPUs and multigigabit fabric for faster throughput. Integrated Services G2 routers also offer intelligent power control for improved energy efficiency.
A major advance with ISR Generation 2 routers is the Cisco IOS Software Universal image which contains all of the Cisco IOS feature sets so that your company can quickly license and deploy new services as required without having to acquire and copy a different IOS image over to yourrouter. Progent's group of CCIE network consultants offer proven expertise to assist your business to design, configure, and support multi-location installations of Cisco Integrated Services G2 routers that enhance branch office productivity and reduce the price of upgrades and support.

In contrast to the 1841 router, the 1900 Integrated Services G2 routers feature a USB console in place of the outdated DB-9 interface and includes a slot for the recently introduced ISM module rather than a slot for the older and slower AIM module. In contrast to top-of-the-line ISR Generation 2 routers, the Cisco 1941 and 1941W Integrated Services G2 routers do not allow redundant power supplies or slots for Packet Voice and fax DSP Modules.
Cisco 2900 ISR G2 Routers
Cisco 2900 Series ISR G2 Routers are available in four models which are intended as upgrades to the routers in Cisco’s popular 2800 router series. Cisco’s 2901, 2911, 2921, and 2951 ISR G2 routers offer integrated hardware encryption, voice and video ready DSP slots, optional Cisco IOS firewall, IOS intrusion prevention, voice mail, and from 16 up to 50 modular LAN switches. The integrated encryption hardware provides IPsec and Secure Sockets Layer VPN tunneling for safe remote connections and is dramatically faster than the Advanced Integration Modules supported by 2800 series routers. The high-end Cisco 2951 Integrated Services G2 router supports 600 SIP sessions. Wired and wireless connectivity alternatives include T1/E1, T3/E3, ADSL and SDSL, plus copper and fiber Gigabit Ethernet.

Cisco 1800 ISR Routers
The modular Cisco 1800 family of integrated services routers embed data and security within a single resilient solution for high-speed, scalable delivery of strategic business programs. The Cisco 1800 Series router design has been specifically engineered to meet the needs of small and midsize businesses (SMBs), enterprise branch offices, and service provider-managed services environments for delivery of concurrent services at high performance. The integrated services systems design of the Cisco 1800 Series delivers maximum flexibility and investment protection.
The Cisco 1841 router provides substantial advantages compared to older generations of 1700 Series routers by delivering more than a fivefold throughput increase plus integrated hardware-based encryption activated by an optional Cisco IOS Software protection image. The 1841 router significantly increases interface card slot performance and density compared to Cisco's 1700 Series while still maintaining compatibility with more than 30 existing Wide Area Network interface cards and multiflex trunk cards (voice/WICs-for data only on the 1841 router). The Cisco 1841 device offers further enhancement of VPN performance via an available VPN acceleration module; IPS and firewall capabilities; compatibility with a broad range of connectivity requirements, such as support for integrated switch ports; plus sufficient performance and expansion slot density for ongoing network growth and advanced applications.
Cisco 2800 Series Routers
Targeted at small to midsize organizations and enterprise satellite offices, the Cisco 2800 Series routers comprises four basic versions: the 2801 router, the Cisco 2811, the 2821, and the 2851 router. Cisco's 2800 routers provide significant added value in comparison to prior generations of Cisco devices at similar prices by offering up to a fivefold throughput increase, up to a 10 times increase in protection and voice speed, integrated service features, and radically improved slot speed and capacity while preserving support for most of the over 90 existing expansion modules in use today for Cisco's 1700 Series, Cisco's 2600 Series, and the 3700 Series devices.
The Cisco 2800 provides an array of popular security features including a Cisco IOS Software Firewall, an intrusion prevention, IPsec Virtual Private Network, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Virtual Private Network, advanced application inspection and control, SSH Protocol V 2.0, and SNMPv3 in a single secure solution set. Also, by incorporating security functions directly into the router itself, Cisco can enable unique intelligent security solutions other security appliances cannot, such as network admissions control for antivirus protection; Voice and Video Enabled VPN (V3PN) for quality-of-service enforcement when combining voice, video, and Virtual Private Networks; DMVPN; Group Encrypted Transport (GET); and Easy VPN for supporting more scalable and manageable VPN networks.
Companies can utilize the Cisco 2800 Series router to deploy an integrated IP telephony environment for up to 96 IP telephones, and can safely combine data, voice, and IP telephony on a single platform for their small-to-medium sized branch offices.
