The Cisco Catalyst 6509-E Application Control Engine (ACE) 20 Bundle, part number WS-C6509E-ACE20-K9, is a robust, rack-mountable network switch designed for high-performance needs. This bundle includes the Cisco Catalyst 6509-E switch chassis coupled with an ACE 20 module. The chassis has nine slots and is optimised for data centre environments, providing strong scalability through its modular architecture.
The ACE 20 module is an integral part of this system, enabling secure and load-balanced application delivery. With the ability to handle up to 16 Gbps of total throughput, it ensures efficient, fast, and encrypted traffic management. This makes it ideal for distributing content and application workloads across multiple servers. The module also supports advanced SSL acceleration, improving encryption performance and offloading tasks from server CPUs.
This bundle provides support for multiple protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP, and offers advanced features including Layer 4 through Layer 7 switching. It is highly beneficial in a data centre setting where complex networks and varied traffic demand precise control and load balancing. Furthermore, the switch chassis is designed for high availability with redundant power supplies and cooling fans, ensuring minimal downtime in the event of component failure.
In terms of physical specifications, the system is designed to fit within a rack-mountable form factor, making it an ideal choice for structured, enterprise-level environments. The modular nature of the system means it can be easily upgraded or maintained over time, depending on changing network requirements.
