Cisco Service Modules
The modular design of the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series allows organizations to
scale their networks and adapt to changing needs, without having to redesign the
network or add additional devices Cisco integrated services modules enable
network administrators to quickly and easily deploy the industry’s most advanced,
high-performance network services
Communication Media Module (CMM)
This module provides high-performance and high-density
voice over IP (VoIP) gateways and media services, allowing
organizations to connect their existing time-division
multiplexing (TDM) network to their IP communications
network, provide connectivity to the public switched
telephone network (PSTN), and enable conferencing,
transcoding, and media termination services for their IP
Communication networks.
• Supports four port adapters in a single line card,
including 6-port T1, 6-port E1, 24-port foreign-
exchange-station (FXS), and 128-port conferencing
and transcoding.
• Integration of VoIP gateways, analog, and digital, and
conferencing and transcoding in a single module saves
space and allows for remote management along with
the other Catalyst 6500 modules.
• Field- upgradable components allow customers to
easily add, replace, or change interface port adapters
without upgrading or replacing the entire module.
• Hot-swappable design allows hardware maintenance
with little or no service interruption, since only the calls
on the card being removed or replaced are affected.
• Cisco AVVID design lends itself to the robust,
fault-tolerant architecture of clustered Cisco
CallManagers.
Wireless Services Module (WiSM)
This module enables scalable wireless LAN network
deployments without requiring special client devices or
changes to the underlying wireline infrastructure, providing
an ideal solution for enterprises, mid-market businesses,
universities, and service providers.
• Delivers centralized security policies, IPS,
RF management, QoS, and Layer 3 fast secure
roaming for WLAN deployments of all sizes.
• Provides automated recovery from failures of Cisco
Aironet
®
lightweight access points, Cisco WiSMs,
and Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720,
maximizing the availability of the wireless network.
• Creates an intelligent RF control plane for self-
configuration, self-healing, and self-optimization.
• Deploys without manually configuring access points or
modifying existing network infrastructures.
• Adapts to changing corporate security needs with
flexible policies and features, including integrated
wireless intrusion protection to ensure the integrity of
sensitive data.
• Allows user to roam between access points and across
bridged and routed subnets without requiring changes
to the underlying infrastructure.
• Enables better visibility and control of the air space,
reducing operational costs.

Applications Control Engine Module
This module is Cisco’s next-generation application delivery
solution, providing the industry’s highest throughput (up to
16 Gigabits per second), rich multilayer security, and unique
virtual partitioning capabilities. The ACE multiservice
module offers many new capabilities, including hundreds
of virtual partitions, per-partition resource allocation,
role-based access control, and an XML management API.
• Partitions network up to 250 logical devices that can be
managed and operated separately. Role-based access
control capabilities enable IT to delegate management
tasks to distributed IT teams, guarantee resource levels
for each logical partition, and apply desired functions to
each partition separately.
• Allows IT to control the infrastructure centrally while
delegating application administration to separate
operational teams. Also simplifies application
infrastructures, shortens the workflow necessary to
bring applications and business services online,
and shortens time-to-deployment of applications.
• Also consolidates functionality such as server load
balancing and off-load application acceleration,
and application-layer security.
• Supports 4, 8, or 16 Gbps of data throughput and up
to 345,000 sustained connection setups per second.
Several ACE modules can be deployed in a Catalyst 6500
chassis for even higher throughput.
