Firewalls White Papers

Deploying Cisco Firewall Services Modules at Scientific Atlanta

Tags:
firewalls

Overview Scientific-Atlanta's network infrastructure, including firewalls, was built on equipment from non-Cisco vendors. In an effort to conform fully to Cisco IT standard architecture and design principals, plans were drawn to replace and upgrade non-Cisco equipment. In 2005, Cisco standardized the deployment of firewall solutions across its worldwide network, using the Cisco Firewall Services Module (FWSM) for its largest sites. Considering the size of the Scientific-Atlanta network and anticipated growth, the company decided that Cisco FWSM was the best solution.
