The Cisco WebEx Node for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Delivers the 
Best Aspects of On-Premises and On-Demand Web Conferencing 

The Cisco WebEx™ Node for the Cisco

®

 ASR 1000 Series, a shared port adapter for the Cisco ASR 1000, can help 

large enterprises reduce WebEx WAN bandwidth usage by up to 80 percent. The adapter is easy to install and 

functions transparently as a part of the WebEx Collaboration Cloud. This results in reduced WAN costs and reduced 

firewall/proxy load. 

In 2009, web conferencing is widely used by businesses of all sizes. The technology is mature and easy to use, 

requiring little more than a web browser or desktop client. Organizations now recognize the compelling value of 

interacting any time and any place with peers, customers, and partners. Web conferencing features include the ability 

to electronically share documents, presentations, and desktops to enable group viewing and editing. Voice and video 

conferencing, instant messaging, and business software integration are some of the more recent features offered by 

web conferencing software and services. (See Figure 1.)

When businesses are under pressure to trim their operating expenses, web collaboration can be used as a substitute 

for travel and still maintain a high level of productivity for widely dispersed teams or campuses. Companies looking to 

reduce their carbon footprint also benefit from advanced web collaboration. 

According to Fr

ost and Sullivan’s July 2008 World Web Conferencing Services Forecast, the web collaboration 

market is expected to grow at 22.5 percent CAGR through 2013. Cisco’s WebEx Service leads in market share at 52 

percent. 

Cisco WebEx Meeting Applications deliver web conferencing through software as a service (SaaS), meaning 

hardware and software are hosted by Cisco through the Cisco WebEx Collaboration Cloud and delivered to end 

users on demand through a web browser. The SaaS model delivers many benefits, including rapid deployment and
