Comprehensive maintenance customers also receive onsite service. Customers who do not have a maintenance contract can

purchase software updates and hardware repair services from Cisco to meet specific requirements rather than full-service

coverage. Cisco is committed to providing software support for a minimum of two years and hardware support for a period

of five years after the EoS date.

Product Substitution

The AIN-COMPR4 provides the same compression services with 2x the throughput performance of the NM-COMPR

modules. The minimum Cisco IOS release required for the hardware compression AIMS are as follows:

Key Benefits of Compression AIM's

• Maximizes System Resources

– Frees the platform's CPU for other routing tasks, improving performance

– Provides simultaneous support for multiple circuits

– Provides maximum compression performance where required

• Reduces Costs

– Reduces packet traffic on a link when tariffing is usage based (resulting in WAN cost reduction)

– Shrinks frame lengths, allowing more data to be transmitted using the same amount of bandwidth and reducing the

need for costly additional WAN links or circuits

– Enables customers to deploy additional services such as voice/data integration without increasing bandwidth

• Improves WAN Bandwidth Efficiency

– Maximizes WAN data throughput on all WAN interfaces (avoiding the expense of additional or higher-speed links)

– Improves application response time on congested links

– Maximizes the advanced bandwidth management capabilities of Cisco IOS
