Cisco ACE 4710 Application Control Engine
Product Overview
The Cisco
®
ACE 4710 Application Control Engine (Figure 1) belongs to the Cisco ACE family of application
switches, used to increase the availability, security and consolidation of data center applications. The Cisco ACE
product family consists of the Cisco ACE Modules for the Cisco Catalyst
®
6500 Series Switches and the Cisco
7600 Series Routers, Cisco ACE4710 Appliance, Cisco Global Site Selector (GSS) appliance and Cisco
Application Networking Manager (ANM) management software.

The Cisco ACE4710 allows enterprises to accomplish these key 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 ACE4710 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, supporting migration to IPv6 and
allowing deployments in mixed networks.
The Cisco ACE4710 provides flexibility in managing application traffic, with scalability up to 4 Gbps in a one-rack-
unit (1RU) 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 ACE4710 enables
IT to provision and deliver a broad range of applications from a single Cisco ACE appliance, 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 ACE4710 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.
