Cisco Application Extension Platform
AXP Data Sheet
AXP Data Sheet
Organizations of all sizes share an ongoing goal of increasing employee productivity and reducing costs
through technology. Your business can cost-effectively meet your office communications and application
integration needs by using Cisco
®
integrated services router platforms to deliver data, voice, security,
wireless LAN, switching, and video services on a single, converged network, customized to meet the
needs of your business today and in the future.
As organizations continue with the trend toward centralization and consolidation of their branch-office IT footprint,
the Cisco integrated services router has been instrumental in integrating the networking infrastructure together and
significantly reducing operational costs. The Cisco Application Extension Platform (AXP) provides a powerful and
flexible environment to extend this concept. It enables hosting and integration of custom applications and network
services into the Cisco integrated services routers. Using the AXP (Figure 1), the integrated services router becomes
a powerful integration platform to build and host complete vertical centric solutions.

Cisco AXP can improve your total cost of ownership (TCO) for deployed branch-office applications by enabling
complete, unified solutions. Enterprises, managed service providers (MSPs), and integrators can use AXP to:
●
Integrate custom applications and services into the integrated services routers
●
Differentiate themselves from their competitors
●
Provide complete end-to-end integrated single-box solutions
