Description:

The Cisco SM-SRE-700-K9 Services-Ready Engine module is used in enterprise routing environments to provide embedded computing and application hosting directly within Cisco ISR G2 routers. Commonly installed in Cisco 2900 and 3900 series Integrated Services Routers to enable services such as virtualization, voice applications, security, and custom software execution. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this module to consolidate servers into the router platform, reduce hardware footprint, and deploy integrated network services.

Applications:

The Cisco SM-SRE-700-K9 is commonly used in branch offices, enterprise edge networks, and distributed IT environments where integrated services such as unified communications, WAN optimization, application hosting, and virtualization are required without deploying separate servers. It is also used for Cisco UCS Express deployments and third-party application hosting.
