Cisco AON Security

Enabling and Enforcing Application-to-Application Security through the Network

Summary

"As the flagship for a new technology paradigm, Cisco AON provides the foundation for a new class of Cisco products; it provides an essential point of convergence between networks and applications based on today's highly distributed, service-oriented and older architectures. And it embeds a new class of application intelligence into the network to better meet the underlying needs of applications for security, visibility, event-oriented messaging, optimized delivery, and other core integration and deployment services.
Cisco AON complements existing networking technologies by providing a greater degree of awareness about the information flowing through the network, helping customers to route information between disparate applications, enforce security policies, optimize the flow of application traffic, and provide improved visibility of information. This solution provides this enhanced level of application intelligence within the network by understanding more about the content and context of information flow at the application communications level rather than the packet level.
Cisco AON is an important component of the Cisco Intelligent Information Network (IIN) vision and strategy. The Cisco IIN provides the foundation for building network infrastructure that meets a company's most strategic business objectives aligned with industry trends such as virtualized computing and service-oriented architectures. At the point where networks and applications converge, this solution points the way to a new era of business relevance for the network-as a strategic enabler and accelerator of today's distributed, service-oriented and traditional business applications and processes. The results-rapid time to market, readily extensible collaboration, and on-demand computing-produce sustainable competitive advantage.
