Cisco ACE30 Application Control Engine Module
Product Overview
The Cisco
®
ACE30 Application Control Engine Module (Figure 1) belongs to the Cisco ACE family of application
switches, which deliver availability, security, and consolidation of data center applications. The Cisco ACE product
family consists of the Cisco ACE30 Module for the Cisco Catalyst
®
6500 Series Switches and the Cisco 7600
Series Routers, Cisco ACE 4710 Appliance, Cisco Global Site Selector (GSS) Appliance, and Cisco Application
Networking Manager (ANM) management software.

The Cisco ACE30 allows enterprises to accomplish these important IT objectives for application delivery:
●
Increase application availability and performance
●
Secure the data center and applications
●
Facilitate data center consolidation through the use of fewer servers, load balancers, and data center
firewalls
The Cisco ACE30 achieves these goals through a broad set of intelligent Layer 4 load-balancing and Layer 7
content-switching technologies that work with IPv4 and IPv6 traffic and are integrated with the latest virtualization
and security capabilities. It supports translation between IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, enabling migration to IPv6 and
allowing deployments in mixed networks.
The Cisco ACE30 provides flexibility in managing application traffic, scaling up to 16 Gbps in a single-slot module
form factor, upgradeable through software licenses, thus providing IT with long-term investment protection and
scalability.
Additionally, through virtualization and role-based access control (RBAC) capabilities, the Cisco ACE30 enables IT
to provision and deliver a broad range of applications from a single Cisco ACE module, bringing increased
scalability for application provisioning to the data center. This capability helps streamline and reduce the cost of
operations involved in implementing, scaling, accelerating, and protecting applications.
The Cisco ACE30 greatly improves server efficiency through highly flexible application traffic management and the
offloading of CPU-intensive tasks such as SSL encryption and decryption processing, HTTP compression, and
TCP session management.
