The Cisco Intrusion Detection System Services Module (IDSM-2) 2-Gbps bundle is an integrated network security solution that enables organizations to minimize risk, maximize business continuity, and scale to multigigabit environments while optimizing productivity.Cisco intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS) solutions enable organizations to protect their connected business assets from threats and increase their operating efficiency. As part of the Cisco Systems family of IDS/IPS solutions, the Cisco IDSM-2 bundle provides protection for data network infrastructures that require multigigabit performance. Network threats continue to increase in complexity; as a result, an organization's security solution must provide effective network intrusion prevention while maintaining business continuity.The Cisco IDSM-2 bundle combines market-leading intrusion prevention and switching into a single system that provides up to 2 Gbps of intrusion prevention performance. The bundle includes the Cisco Catalyst 6506-E Switch chassis, the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 32, and four Cisco IDSM-2s.With an installed base in the hundreds of thousands, the widely deployed Cisco Catalyst chassis is a logical platform for additional services such as firewall, VPN, and IDS/IPS. The Cisco IDSM-2 is a second-generation module for Cisco Catalyst chassis, providing unique benefits to customers seeking IDS/IPS attack protection. Cisco IPS Sensor Software Version 5.x delivers inline IPS capabilities to the Cisco IDSM-2.This bundle includes Cisco Catalyst 6506-E Switch, Supervisor Engine 32 with 8 x 1 Gigabit Ethernet Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) plus 1 x 10/100/1000 uplink port, 8 copper SFP interfaces, 4 IDSM-2s, and 1 Power-Supply 3000W.
