Resilient, policy-controlled connectivity between every site, branch and WAN edge.
Branch and WAN-edge routing built on Cisco's edge platforms, engineered for resilient site-to-site connectivity and a controlled internet edge. CDS designs the routing architecture around real traffic patterns, redundancy needs and the applications that depend on it, not a generic template.

What it is
Branch and WAN-edge routing on Cisco's edge platforms, engineered for resilient site-to-site connectivity and a controlled internet edge, with the routing policy shaped around the traffic and applications that actually cross it.

How we deliver it
- Step 1
Discover
Clarify sites, links, traffic, redundancy needs and success criteria.
- Step 2
Design
Define the routing policy, redundancy, QoS and security integration.

- Step 4
Deploy
Roll out through an approved sequence, then test and document.
Questions about this service
Which Cisco routing platforms does CDS design on?+
Cisco Catalyst 8000 Edge Platforms, ISR 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers and ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Routers, running IOS XE routing and segmentation.
How is the routing architecture decided?+
CDS designs the routing policy around real traffic patterns, redundancy requirements and the applications that depend on the link, rather than applying a generic template.
