Introduction
The
Cisco® Catalyst® 4500 Series offers
nonblocking Layers 2-4 switching with integrated
resiliency, further enhancing control of converged
networks. Converged voice, video, and data
networks with high availability enable business
resiliency for enterprise and metropolitan
(metro) Ethernet customers deploying Internet-based
business applications.
A
next-generation Cisco Catalyst 4000 Series
platform, the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series includes
three Cisco Catalyst chassis: the Cisco Catalyst
4507R (seven slots), Cisco Catalyst 4506 (six
slots), and Cisco Catalyst 4503 (three slots).
Integrated resiliency enhancements offered
in the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series include
1+1 supervisor engine redundancy (Cisco Catalyst
4507R only), 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, helping to ensure workforce
productivity, profitability, and customer
success.
An
important component of Cisco AVVID (Architecture
for Voice, Video and Integrated Data), the
Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series 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 Series line cards
and supervisor engines, the Cisco Catalyst
4500 Series provides an extended window of
deployment for the Cisco Catalyst 4000 Series
in converged networks. This reduces the cost
of ownership by minimizing recurring operational
expenses, improving return on investment (ROI).
