 Series Content Services Switch

Cisco WebNS Software Version 5.10

The Cisco CSS 11500 Series Content

Services Switch is a compact modular

platform, delivering the richest Layer

4–7 traffic management services for

e-business applications.

The Cisco CSS 11500 Series, with the

award-winning Cisco Web Network

Services (WebNS) Software, is specifically

designed to provide robust transport and

application (Layer 4–7) services for Internet

and intranet data centers. The Cisco CSS

11500 Series builds on the success of the

Cisco CSS 11000 Series in five key areas:

• Introduces an intelligent, distributed

architecture to meet the real-world

scaling requirements of today’s

e-business infrastructure

• Improves site availability and

transaction integrity by introducing

Adaptive Session Redundancy—a new

industry standard in stateful failover

• Delivers the greatest flexibility of any

content switch in its class for

customizing combinations of ports,

performance, and services

• Scales secured transaction performance

through support of an integrated,

high-capacity Secure Sockets Layer

(SSL) module (Cisco WebNS 5.20)

• Protects investments by enabling

upgrades of performance, ports, and

services through modularity

The Cisco CSS 11500 Series Content

Services Switch enables businesses to

simultaneously reduce costs and boost

productivity by optimizing data center

resources and offering a superior online

experience for customers, business

partners, and employees. Through fast

switching and content forwarding, the

Cisco CSS 11500 Series switches improve

the use, responsiveness, availability,

scalability, and security of Web sites, server

farms, cache clusters, and firewall systems.

Cisco CSS 11500 is supported only on

Cisco WebNS Software Version 5.10.

Cisco CSS 11800, 11150, and 11050

are currently supported in Cisco WebNS

Software Version 5.00.

Cisco WebNS Software Version 5.10

introduces ASR for the Cisco CSS 11500.

ASR is the industry’s first stateful Layer 5

session redundancy feature that enables

failover of important flows while

maximizing performance.

Some flows—such as a long-lived File

Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a database

session—may be mission critical, but many

are not. Most solutions on the market today

require all traffic to be backed up from one
