Cisco Extends its Enterprise Content Delivery Network Category

Cisco Systems introduced new enterprise hardware appliances and router-integrated modules designed to extend the capabilities of an Enterprise Content Delivery Network (ECDN). The new Cisco Application and Content Networking System (ACNS) software and hardware helps companies implement content delivery solutions such as video for training. For instance, the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs needs to deliver 40 hours of training annually to each of its more than 180,000 employees around the country. The Cisco ACNS reduces WAN usage and improves application performance for the online video-enabled training. The product rollout includes four new appliance-based content delivery devices for Cisco ACNS: the Cisco 510 Content Engine ($5,500) and Cisco 565 Content Engine ($11,000) for branch-office locations, and the Cisco 7305 Content Engine ($25,000) and Cisco 7325 Content Engine ($60,000) for large-branch or data-center deployments.
