Cisco 3300 Series Mobility Services Engine
An appliance-based platform that enables industry mobility solutions using a centralized,
services engine with an open API for scalable mobility applications development
Product Overview
The Cisco
®
3300 Series Mobility Services Engine is an open platform that provides a new
approach for the delivery of mobility services to enable mobile business applications. A
combination of hardware and software, the Mobility Services Engine is an appliance-based
solution that supports a suite of software services to provide centralized and scalable service
delivery. The Mobility Services Engine transforms the wireless LAN into a mobility network by
abstracting the application layer from the network layer, effectively allowing for the delivery of
mobile applications across different types of networks, including Wi-Fi, Ethernet, cellular, WiMAX,
and RFID.
To deliver true business mobility, IT must take a practical approach focused on unifying networks,
managing the wave of mobile devices, and enabling mobile application development. The Cisco
3300 Series Mobility Services Engine is at the heart of this mobility architecture evolution. It
provides an open API that allows a broader ecosystem of partners to access network intelligence
in developing industry-relevant mobility solutions. The Mobility Services Engine is an extension of
the Cisco Unified Wireless Network, and integrates with Cisco Unified Communications and Cisco
compatible devices to deliver a comprehensive approach to business mobility—an approach that
extends applications to the right device at the right time, no matter which network is being used.
Mobility Services Architecture
Cisco Mobility Services are a set of value-added network services that consolidate intelligence
from various points in the network to enable and optimize the delivery of business mobility
applications. This intelligence has typically been highly distributed throughout the network,
resulting in complex service provisioning and management. When services, control, and data
planes are combined a single platform, the added complexity limits the network’s ability to scale
and adapt to new services while maintaining consistent performance.
The answer lies in a centralized services architecture. While still critical to the ability of networks to
provide the intelligence for the optimal performance of mobile applications, mobility services
should be abstracted from the control and data planes in order to be centralized into the services
engine. This centralization of services offers several benefits, including scalability and improved
provisioning and management. Additionally, a centralized services architecture removes the direct
