Cisco VPN 5002

The Cisco VPN 5000 Concentrator Series is a purpose-built VPN concentrator platform incorporating the most advanced high-performance encryption and authentication techniques available. It is the most feature-rich carrier-class VPN product line on the market, with support for the most demanding multiplatform, multiprotocol environments, enabling easy to deploy remote access and site-to-site VPN services. By anchoring private Intranet access services with Cisco VPN 5000, service providers or enterprises can offer a full range of connectivity options from any point on the globe. The Cisco broad set of VPN 5000 clients, provided with the Cisco VPN 5000 Concentrators at no additional cost, support IPSec-based VPN connections over standard dialup, ISDN, DSL, and cable modems. This provides for secure intranet and extranet services globally by extending their off-network reach via the Internet. The two-slot Cisco VPN 5002 scales up to 10,000 simultaneous remote access or site-to-site VPN tunnels. Its modular design allows service providers to scale their service offerings via hot-swappable encryption service processor (ESP) cards. Each ESP card supports up to 5000 simultaneous VPN connections, features a central RISC processor with dedicated engines for encryption acceleration and key generation functions, and an I/O interface. Dynamic load balancing ensures that all processors are leveraged and optimized, resulting in wire-speed throughput.
