Branch Office Today’s Challenges?
Despite centralization some applications must remain at the branch
Placing physical servers at the branch increases infrastructure complexity
Complex infrastructure is inflexible and requires on-site technical knowhow
Lack of physical space for IT equipment and wiring
Reduce cost of installing or replacing applications
Protect investment with flexible infrastructure
Reduce need for and frequency of on-site visits to implement changes
Pay for infrastructure as needed, not upfront
One-application-per-server model increases Capex
Most physical servers are underutilized
Replacement or upgrade of servers requires costly on-site visit
Servers have higher energy consumption
Pain Points
Differentiation
ISR G2 is a consolidation platform for services – the only device on the market that combines routing, switching, security, voice, and applications into one box
The only general purpose server for the branch office in the blade server form factor
One technical support contract for network equipment, servers, and virtualization

Smart BranchWhat it’s Components?
all-in-one virtualization, computing, and networking system comprising three components:
(1) VMware
(2) Cisco Services Ready Engine (SRE)
(3) Cisco 2900 or 3900 Series ISR G2
Supports Microsoft Windows Server or Red Hat Linux
SRE is a compact, easy-to-install blade server tailored to the needs of Enterprise branch offices with a small number of locally hosted applications

Configure Network Interfaces of SM-SRE Service Module
The service module communicates with the host router through two internal
Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces:
One GE interface connects to the router Peripheral Component Interconnect
Express (PCIe) (refer to interface GE0 ) This interface is sm slot/0 and is configured
through the Cisco IOS Software CLI. After the interface is configured, the vSphere
client communicates with the VMware vSphere Hypervisor™ through this interface.

Configure Network Interfaces of SM-SRE Service Module
The other GE interface connects to the Multigigabit fabric (MGF)
(refer to interface GE1). This interface, sm slot/1, is also configured
through the Cisco IOS Software CLI.2

Configure Network Interfaces of SM-SRE Service Module
The third GE interface is located on the external face plate of the
Cisco SRE Service Module (refer to interface GE2). This Gigabit
Ethernet interface is configured and managed by the VMware
vSphere Hypervisor™. 3
