The Cisco Services Ready Engine (SRE) modules are router blades for the Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 that provide the capability to host Cisco, third-party, and custom applications. The modules have their own processors, storage, network interfaces, and memory that operate independently of the host router resources, helping to ensure maximum concurrent routing and application performance while reducing physical footprint, lowering power consumption, and simplifying IT administration at the branch office. You can provision applications on the module remotely at any time. This solution can help your organization to quickly deploy new branch-office applications on-demand, reduce the cost of operating branch-office infrastructure, and protect your IT investment in the branch office.
