Cisco showcases its 100 gigabit technology at SC11, the international conference for high performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and National Lambda Rail.
The Cisco 5900 Series Embedded Services Routers (ESR) are optimized for mobile and embedded networks that require IP routing and services. They can operate reliably in harsh environments, such as those subject to power surges and extreme weather conditions.
These routers are complemented by Cisco IOS Software and Cisco Mobile Ready Net capabilities. With this technology, they provide highly secure data, voice, and video communications to stationary and mobile network nodes across wired and wireless links.
FIPS-140 is a US and Canadian government standard that specifies security requirements for cryptographic modules.
