The Cisco CSS 11506 Content Services Switch (CSS11506-NOAC=) is a load balancing device engineered to enhance the performance, scalability, and security of data centre networks. This highly efficient switching solution ensures optimal traffic management by distributing incoming network requests across multiple servers, offering balanced and predictable system performance under varied loads. The CSS 11506 is particularly suited for large-scale enterprises where uninterrupted network availability is critical.
It’s designed with a modular chassis capable of supporting up to six slots, each of which can host interface cards and processing modules. This configuration enables the CSS 11506 to handle demanding traffic loads effectively while providing the flexibility for future upgrades. The load balancing device supports both Layer 4 and Layer 7 switching, making it versatile in directing traffic based on both transport and application-layer information.
The rear of the chassis includes hot-swappable components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems, ensuring continuous operation even in the case of hardware failure. In addition, it provides fault-tolerant capabilities through its redundant system control, a key feature for ensuring maximum uptime. Importantly, this model does not include an air-cooling (AC) power module, requiring a specific setup for power management.
Network administrators will find powerful features within this device, such as global server load balancing (GSLB) and SSL encryption/decryption capabilities, which help ensure secure and efficient network operations even in complex environments. The system also supports a variety of management tools, including a browser-based interface and advanced SNMP support for remote monitoring.
