The Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Router (ISR) revolutionized WAN communications in enterprise branch offices. With built-in intelligent network capabilities and increased convergence, routers specifically address the growing need for application-aware networking in distributed enterprise sites. These locations often have lean IT resources. However, they often increasingly need to communicate directly with private data centers and public clouds through different links, including Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) VPNs and the Internet.
