Hello Tune,

Cisco Integrated Services Router is a multiservice platform, that provides security, application optimization, unified communications, WLAN controller, application hosting services to name a few. We do have VPN connectivity services (DMVPN,EasyVPN,GETVPN), and threat defense solutions (Zone Based Firewall, URL Filtering, etc.). We can also host applications on our Cisco UCS E-Series Server Module that plugs into the ISR. This module supports several different hypervisors, including Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware vSphere, and Citrix XenServer

This award recognizes our latest architectural advancements that makes each of these servers run just as well on a single box, as they would on separate appliances -- enabling services without compromises. And, bringing advanced network, compute and storage makes this ideal for branches as we move into the era of big data, and more processing will be needed at the branch.

Let us know if you have further questions.
