Improve Application Deployment and Delivery
Cisco Application Networking Services (ANS) can help you enhance application availability and security and reduce the time and effort needed to roll out applications.
If you can align your IT systems more closely to your business needs you can deliver, secure, and optimize applications running across networks and integrate applications and networking systems that were not designed to work together. Doing so requires a range of solutions that provide application-to-application integration and application-to-client delivery and optimization.
A systems approach that uses the network to provide shared services that work together smoothly helps you gain additional value from existing applications and extract new value from an existing standards-based IP network infrastructure. Shared services hosted in the existing network improve the operation of all applications and simplify the infrastructure required for sophisticated deployments.
With a new generation of application infrastructure designed to help you move to shared services and service-oriented architectures, your IT organization can:
Make applications more scalable and available
Improve access for end users
Use far fewer server and network resources
This new generation of application infrastructure changes how applications are deployed, integrated, and managed by delivering common application functions as network-based services. Because intelligence is embedded in the network, it can understand application messages (such as purchase orders, delivery notices, or stock trades) and apply policies for routing, transformation, and security. Application Network Services offer these solutions:
