Companies seeking competitive advantage through the strategic use of information technology are increasingly confronted by a bewildering array of products and rapidly changing technologies. In such a world of constant change, small offices require flexible and affordable Internet and intranet access solutions. They also require advanced end-to-end security to safeguard their data, along with end-to-end quality of service to take advantage of emerging multimedia applications that integrate data, voice, and video. And they need access solutions that are easy to use, deploy, and manage.
Until now, most products targeted at the small office Internet/intranet access market either were designed for larger environments, making them too full-featured and costly, or were designed for home use, thereby lacking important features and flexibility for the small office. Customers need solutions designed specifically for small offices, offering flexibility, end-to-end security, end-to-end quality of service, low cost, and ease of use, deployment, and management. To meet these needs, Cisco Systems developed the Cisco 1600 series, defining the next generation of Internet/intranet access routers.
