Scalability
Where high-capacity protection is required, eight modules can be installed in a single switch to
support large and rapidly expanding environments. Additionally, the Cisco Anomaly Guard
Module’s multiprocessor architecture and multiple gigabit backplane interfaces can support future
licensed software upgrades to multigigabit performance per module.
Reliability and High Availability
The Cisco Anomaly Guard Module maintains a powerful on-demand scrubbing architecture via
routing-based dynamic diversion with robust failover protection. This capability offers ease of
installation, operational reliability, and transparency not found in traditional inline solutions required
for active mitigation. In addition, Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series
routers offer Control Plane Policing for DDoS hardening, as well as high-availability options.
Lower Cost of Ownership
Since the modules are integrated into Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches or Cisco 7600 Series
routers along with other services modules, there are fewer devices to manage, reducing cost of
operation. In addition, because the application software is similar to the appliance application
software, training costs are minimized. With this modular approach, customers can use their
existing switching and routing infrastructures for cost-effective deployment—and can do so while
obtaining the highest performance available in the industry and providing secured IP services
along with multilayer LAN and WAN switching and routing capabilities.
Summary
Designed for service providers, hosting centers, and online enterprises, the Cisco Anomaly Guard
Module does what no other DDoS mitigation solution can—help ensure uninterrupted business
operations, even in the face of the most malicious assaults. This translates into a significant
competitive advantage, providing uncompromised availability and unparalleled protection of the
most valuable business assets.
