Cisco ISR 1100 Series Routers
The Cisco ISR 1100 Series routers, including the ISR 1100-4G, ISR1100-4GLTE, and ISR 1100-6G models, are powered by the Viptela operating system. These routers combine WAN and comprehensive security in a high-performance platform, offering an enterprise-grade solution with best-in-class SD-WAN capabilities.
Cisco Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) is a cloud-first architecture designed to provide visibility across your WAN, optimal connectivity for end users, and robust security. It supports transport independence, rich network and security services, and endpoint flexibility. These routers are ideal for the perimeter of sites such as remote offices, branch offices, campuses, and data centers, enabling secure virtual overlay networks over various WAN transports.
Primary Features and Benefits
