The unique virtualization capabilities of Cisco ACE enable the support of numerous applications
and departments in multiple isolated virtual devices on a single Cisco ACE module, resulting in
optimized capacity utilization, decreased deployment costs, improved workflow, and decreased
power consumption costs.
It is important to note that the Cisco virtualization implementation is at the device-level, allowing all
aspects of the physical device to be virtualized. Other vendors limit their support of virtualization to
access-control capabilities and do not offer device-level virtualization equivalent to that offered by
Cisco ACE.
Summary
Virtualized partitioning is a crucial requirement for providing scalable, reliable, and cost-effective
application delivery services in the data center. Enterprises and service providers alike can reap
significant cost reduction and application deployment acceleration benefits with Cisco ACE. Cisco
ACE is the only solution on the market today that provides true application delivery virtualization
capabilities.
