The Cisco^® Small Business RV260, RV260P, and RV260W VPN routers are high-performance models combining business-class features with performance, security, reliability, and overall value at a great price point. These models are perfect for the small business, small enterprise, branch, or small home office network.

Product overview
Easy to configure and install, the RV260 routers can be remotely deployed using Plug and Play (PnP), are supported by the Cisco FindIT network platform, and feature a new user interface.

These models have a dual-core processor that provides performance usually found only in more expensive solutions. A Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) WAN port provides flexible connectivity and investment protection. Like the other models in the portfolio, the RV260, 260P, and 260W include standard features such as a business-grade Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall, VPN security (IP Security [IPsec], Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol [PPTP], and OpenVPN), content filtering, and device wizards to make an easy setup even easier.

The wired RV260 offers a high-performance user experience at an attractive cost point. The RV260P adds Power over Ethernet (PoE) to four of the eight ports. The RV260W adds 3x3 wireless 802.11ac. Like the RV160W but with better performance and more ports, this network-in-a-box offers fantastic wireless performance and range for the small business and teleworker network solution.

These models come with one year of web filtering service. This feature provides the ability to categorize different types of websites at different levels, and keeps your business users away from harmful websites.

The Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms are 5G-ready, cloud edge platforms designed for SASE, multi-layer security and cloud-native agility to accelerate your journey to cloud.

Cisco^® Catalyst^® 8200 Series Edge Platforms (Catalyst 8200) with Cisco IOS^® XE SD-WAN Software deliver Cisco's secure, cloud-scale SD-WAN solution for the small branch. The Catalyst 8200 Series is purpose-built for performance and integrated SD-WAN Services along with flexibility to deliver security and networking services together from the cloud or on premises. The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms have a wide variety of interface options to choose from with backward compatibility to existing WAN, LAN and voice modules. Powered by Cisco IOS XE, fully programmable software architecture, and API support, these platforms can facilitate automation at scale to achieve zero-touch IT capability while migrating workloads to the cloud. Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms also come with Trustworthy Solutions 2.0 infrastructure that secures the platforms against threats and vulnerabilities by an advanced integrity verification and remediation of threats.

The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms are well suited for small and medium-sized enterprise branch offices at optimal price/performance with integrated SD-WAN services.

Cisco^® Catalyst^® 8200 Series Edge Platforms are offered in two varieties; C8200L-1N-4T for the small branch with SASE compliant, cloud based security requirements, and C8200-1N-4T for the small to medium branch with requirements for higher throughput, scale and service flexibility. In addition to supporting SASE compliant cloud based security services, C8200-1N-4T also delivers a flexible system of best-of-breed, on-prem, security services through container-based apps, using Cisco's third-party ecosystem.

Cisco^® ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers provide a Software Defined WAN platform that aggregates multiple WAN connections and network services including encryption and traffic management, and forward them across WAN connections at line speeds from 2.5 to 200 Gbps. The routers contain both hardware and software redundancy in an industry-leading high-availability design.

The latest additions to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series are the Cisco ASR 1002-HX Router and the Cisco ASR 1001-HX Router. Both new routers support up to 100 Gbps in a 2-Rack-Unit (2RU) and 60 Gbps in a 1-Rack-Unit (1RU) form factor, respectively. The ASR 1002-HX has 8 built-in 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) ports and 8 1 GE ports, with the Ethernet Port Adapter (EPA) slot for expansion. The ASR 1001-HX has 4 built-in 10 GE ports, 8 1 GE ports, and 4 configurable 10 GE or 1 GE ports. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Route Processor 3 is the newest addition to the modular control plane engines in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series. The Route Processor 3 adds more options for higher performance, memory, and storage to the ASR 1000 Series.

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series supports Cisco IOS^® XE Software, a modular operating system with modular packaging, feature velocity, and powerful resiliency. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processors (ESPs), which are based on Cisco Flow Processor technology, accelerate many advanced features such as crypto-based access security; Network Address Translation (NAT), thread defense with Cisco Zone-Based Firewall (ZBFW), Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE), and a diverse set of Data-Center-Interconnect (DCI) features. These services are implemented in Cisco IOS XE Software without the need for additional hardware support.

Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers sit at the edge of your enterprise data center or large office connecting to the WAN, as well as in service provider Points Of Presence (POPs). The Cisco ASR 1000 Series will benefit the following types of customers:

• Enterprises experiencing explosive network traffic as mobility, cloud networking, and video and collaboration usage increase: Cisco ASRs consolidate these various traffic streams and apply traffic management and redundancy properties to them to maintain consistent performance among enterprise sites and cloud locations.
• Network service providers needing to deliver high-performance services, such as DCI and branch-office server aggregation, to business customers: Service providers can also use the multiservice routers to deploy hosted and managed services to business and multimedia services to residential customers.
• Existing Cisco 7200 Series Router (end-of-sale) customers looking for simple migration to a new multiservice platform that delivers greater performance with the same design.

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers carry a modular yet integrated design, so network operators can increase their network capacity and services without a hardware upgrade. With flexibility in the number of connections, speed maximums, and price, you don't have to under- or overprovision for any network location.

Alternatively, you also have the option to buy "-X" and "-HX" models, so you can increase throughput by simply purchasing upgrade licenses as you grow to increase your network speed dynamically.
