Introduction
The
Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series offers nonblocking
Layer2/3/4 switching with integrated resiliency,
further enhancing control of converged networks.
Converged voice/video/data networks with high
availability enable business resiliency for
enterprise and metropolitan (metro) Ethernet
customers deploying Internet-based business
applications. Integrated resiliency enhancements
offered in the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series
include integrated inline power for IP telephony,
software-based fault tolerance, and 1 + 1
power supply redundancy. Integrated resiliency
in both hardware and software minimizes network
downtime, ensuring workforce productivity,
profitability, and customer success. As a
key component of Cisco AVVID (Architecture
for Voice, Video and Integrated Data), the
Cisco Catalyst 4500 extends control to the
network edge with intelligent network services,
including sophisticated quality of service
(QoS), predictable performance, advanced security,
comprehensive management, and integrated resiliency.
Offering compatibility with Cisco Catalyst
4000 Family line cards and supervisor engines,
the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series enables an
extended window of deployment for the Cisco
Catalyst 4000 Family in converged networks.
This reduces the cost of ownership by minimizing
recurring operational expenses, thus improving
return on investment (ROI).
