Cisco Cisco ACE Application Control Engine Module 产品宣传册
isco Systems engaged Miercom to independently verify the
performance and various unique features of the new Application
Control Engine (ACE) hardware module running software release
performance and various unique features of the new Application
Control Engine (ACE) hardware module running software release
A.1.3. Designed for the Catalyst 6500 Series switch, the Cisco ACE was
evaluated in the following key areas: Layer 4 and Layer 7 Load Balancing
performance, SSL performance, device scalability, availability, and
security. The Cisco ACE showed itself to be a superior device in all
performance tests. Targeted for enterprise and service provider
customers, the Cisco ACE offers data center owners the potential to
lower overall capital and operating expenses based on features,
performance, and measured power consumption under load.
The Cisco ACE demonstrated features and scalability not available in
other solutions including the ability to create virtual devices (up to 250 per
module), separate administrative logins per virtual device combined with
customizable Roles Based Administration (RBA) for granular
administrative and user access, hierarchical domains to further enhance
security control and maintenance access; and architectural scalability.
