How Addressed by Cisco SM-X EtherSwitch Service Module
High Availability
● Minimizing downtime that affects business
operations.
● A single-box and single IOS solution simplifies remote management and improves
services interoperability to help ensure the highest reliability.
● End-to-end testing for standards-based and innovative Cisco proprietary features
provides superior services interoperability and excellent value.
● The modules use optional redundant power supplies in Cisco ISR4000 series routers.
● Fewer components (for example, power supplies and fans) results in fewer failures
and less downtime.
Green IT
● Single power supply for Cisco EtherSwitch
device and router.
● The modules offer up to two times lower power consumption than previous
generation of switch modules.
● Because no additional rack space or power supply is needed, there is less to rack,
stack, and cool.
