New in the announcement are Cisco Application Control Engine (ACE), a new, high-performing application services module for the Cisco
Catalyst 6500, and a software module for the Cisco Application Velocity System AVS 3100, adding significant features and functions for
application security.
The ACE is a new services module for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 that provides organizations with new levels of control over the way that they
deploy, operate, deliver, secure, and manage their applications and business services across the extended enterprise. It enables greater control over
application infrastructure, allowing organizations to deploy and migrate applications more quickly, deliver the highest levels of services to end users,
and simplify the overall management and operation of their data centers. The device incorporates role-based access control, a powerful workflow
engine, and management tools and application programming interfaces (APIs). With throughput of up to 16 Gbps per module and architectural
extensibility to incorporate future functions, the Cisco ACE sets a new performance standard for providing application supporting services in the
data center. The Cisco AVS software module adds advanced bidirectional application security functions to the AVS 3100 family. Coupled with
the new application security module on the AVS, Cisco ACE provides the application infrastructure control, performance, security and a simplified
infrastructure to help IT meet ever-increasing business challenges.
