When evaluating hardware, it is recommended to use the latest Cisco product datasheets
to research hardware and determine the equipment's capabilities. Remember to consider
the port densities and types of ports the device offers. Some other areas to investigate
include device modularity, packet throughput, redundancy capabilities, and the device's
expandability options. Finally, remember to factor in what power options the hardware
supports.

Cisco ISR G2 Hardware
Cisco's Integrated Services Routers second generation (ISR G2) are part of the Borderless
Networks with the Cisco Network Architectures for the Enterprise. These ISR G2 routers
provide the platform for business innovation by meeting the performance requirements for
the next generation of WAN and network services. This architecture allows cost-effective
delivery of high-definition (HD) collaboration solutions at the branch office and supports
the secure transition to the private cloud. Cisco ISR G2 routers enable the business to
deploy on-demand services, which reduces the overall cost of ownership.
Here are some key advantages of the ISR G2 routers:
Delivers next-gen WAN and network service capabilities
■
Provides video-based collaboration and rich-media services
■
Enables secure transition to cloud and virtualized network services
■
Reduced energy consumption and costs to support corporate responsibility
