The Cisco

®

 Content Switching Module (CSM) is a line card for the Cisco Catalyst

®

 6500 Series

Switch that enhances the experience and response for client traffic to end points, such as groups of

servers, caches, firewalls, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) devices, or VPN termination devices. The

Cisco CSM provides a high-performance, cost-effective load-balancing solution for enterprise and

Internet service provider networks, allowing these organizations to provide customers, employees,

and business partners with the best possible online experience. The Cisco CSM meets the demands

of high-speed content delivery networks, tracking network sessions and server load conditions in

real time, and directing client requests to the appropriate device. Fault-tolerant Cisco CSM

configurations maintain full state information and provide true hitless failover required for mission-

critical applications.

The Cisco CSM provides the following benefits:

•

Market-leading performance—The Cisco CSM establishes up to 165,000 connections per

second and provides high-speed content switching while maintaining 1 million concurrent

connections.

•

Outstanding price-performance value—The Cisco CSM features a low connection cost and

occupies a small footprint sliding into a slot in a new or existing Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series

chassis.

•

Optimized data center performance—The Cisco CSM allows organizations to increase the

scalability and performance of server farms, cache clusters and groups of VPN, SSL and firewall

devices. In addition, the Cisco CSM provides organizations with the highest level of device

redundancy for business critical applications and services.

•

Highly scalable solution—Multiple Cisco CSMs can be installed in the same Cisco Catalyst

6500 Series chassis to provide scalable performance as well as redundancy.

•

Ease of configuration—The Cisco CSM uses the same Cisco IOS

®

 command-line interface

(CLI) that is used to configure the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switch.

•

Enhances existing infrastructure—By adding a Cisco CSM to a new or existing Cisco Catalyst

6500 Series Switch, customers can enable every port in the Cisco Catalyst switch to perform

Layer 2 to Layer 7 services, providing the capability to intelligently switch traffic.
