Cisco ACE 4710 HARDWARE-0.5GBPS-100

The Cisco ACE 4710 Application Control Engine represents the next generation of application switches for maximizing the availability, acceleration, and security of data center applications. The Cisco ACE 4710 achieves these goals through a broad set of intelligent Layer 4 load balancing and Layer 7 content switching technologies integrated with leading-edge acceleration and security capabilities. A primary design element of the Cisco ACE 4710 is its use of virtualized architecture and role-based administration to streamline and reduce the cost of operations involved in rolling out, scaling, accelerating, and protecting applications. To maximize application availability, the Cisco ACE 4710 uses best-in-class application switching algorithms coupled with highly available system
software and hardware. The Cisco ACE 4710 provides best-in-industry scalability and throughput for managing application traffic, up to 4 Gbps in a one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor, upgradeable through software licenses, thus providing IT with long-term investment protection and scalability. Additionally, through its innovative virtualization and role-based access control capabilities, the Cisco ACE 4710 enables IT to provision and deliver a broad range of multiple applications from a single Cisco ACE appliance, bringing increased scalability for application provisioning to the data center. The Cisco ACE 4710 greatly improves server efficiency through highly flexible application traffic management and the offloading of CPU-intensive tasks such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption
and decryption processing, HTTP compression, and TCP session management. The Cisco ACE platform is designed to serve as a last line of defense for servers and applications in data centers. The Cisco ACE appliance performs deep packet inspection and blocks malicious attacks. An integrated firewall enables IT professionals to comprehensively secure high-value applications in the data center and facili
