Cisco router announced Tuesday two new cloud-based products aimed at branch offices and remote locations.

The first is the Cisco Flex 7500 Series Cloud Controller, a LAN controller that enables the central management of up to 500 branch locations and 2,000 access points from one data center. cisco2901/k9 It allows IT managers to remotely configure wireless policies, management, and security settings without having to physically be in the branch location.

The benefit for small branch offices to have a controller, rather than standalone access points at multiple sites, is that a controller brings consistency, cisco2811-16ts allows you to more easily manage access points and upgrade firmware, and provides more simple troubleshooting, Sylvia Hooks, senior manager of mobility marketing for Cisco, said in an InformationWeek interview.

"Taken all together and when you put that into a data center, we're minimizing the need to put IT experts in the store, so we're minimizing that support burden that is difficult to fulfill in many branch offices," Hooks said.

    Weak authentication leaves your organization open to sophisticated hackers.
    Implement strong security that is easy to use.

This is the case at Bass Pro Shops, a model client Cisco cites.cisco1941/k9 Bass Pro Shops implemented the 7500 controller two months ago to centralize the management of wireless connections for its 54 retail stores, corporate headquarters, and distribution facility.

"By deploying a Cisco Flex 7500 Series Cloud Controller, we will be able to reduce costs by eliminating the need for a controller at each store to manage the wireless networks, while also reducing the amount of interaction needed by store personnel," Steve Marshall, director of IT services at Bass Pro Shops, said in a statement.

Cisco also introduced the Integrated Services Router Web Security software for the ISR G2 branch router. The software extends Cisco's ScanSafe Cloud Web Security and allows organizations to deploy cloud-based Web security and Web usage policies, cisco1921-sec/k9 enabling secure local Internet access for branch offices and users.

The security software addresses a trend Cisco has seen in branch offices: LAN bottlenecks caused by increasing bandwidth usage have driven some organizations to use a tunnel traffic over the Internet, which increases the security vulnerabilities of an organization.

"What we've done with Cisco ISR Web Security is to provide an intelligent software solution in all branch-office routers to intelligently redirect all the Internet access directly to cloud-based, ScanSafe security towers, rather than backhauling all traffic through data center," cisco1921-adsl2/k9 Prashanth Shenoy, senior manager of borderless networks marketing at Cisco, said in an InformationWeek interview.

The benefits include a reduction in hardware for security, including routers, and cloud-based security monitoring, Shenoy said. The new software will be available in July for $2,495, plus an annual Cisco ScanSafe service subscription.

The Cisco Flex 7500 Series Cloud Controller is available now; pricing starts at $47,995.

Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ), the world’s largest computer maker, unveiled a switch that helps companies route data over networks, aiming to charge less for the device than comparable products from Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO)

The A 10500 switch, which companies can use to deliver high-definition video and other content, will go on sale in the second half of the year, starting at $38,000, Palo Alto, California-based Hewlett-Packard said today in a statement. The company also introduced new business laptops and a wireless broadband service earlier today.

Hewlett-Packard aims to charge 35 percent to 40 percent less for its switches, which connect computers to networks, than Cisco does, Hewlett-Packard executive vice president David Donatelli said in an interview. That may add to pressure on Cisco, which has lost share in switches amid price rivalry.

“Cisco router has a business-model problem — they’ve been overcharging,” Donatelli said. “You’ve seen a stunning change in the dynamics of the market. We’re now a strong No. 2.”

Hewlett-Packard gained 2.3 percentage points of switch revenue share in 2009 and 2010, while Cisco lost share, according to Hewlett-Packard. Cisco routers leads the market, deriving 30 percent of sales from switches.

The company also announced plans to release the HP ProBook 5330m and HP EliteBook 2560 this month. The computers will be able to use the new HP DataPass online connection, which lowers Internet costs for business travelers who only need occasional access, said Mike Hockey, a spokesman for Hewlett-Packard.
Business Travelers

“It’s for the business person who’s travelling occasionally who wants quick access to 3G without the hassle of being tied to a contract or finding a Wi-Fi hot spot,” Hockey said in an interview.

Hewlett-Packard is seeking fresh ways to make its PCs stand out from rival products, including Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s iPad and other mobile devices. The industry’s PC shipments declined 3.2 percent last quarter, hurt by sales of tablets, research firm IDC said last month. Hewlett-Packard plans to release its own tablet called the TouchPad in the next few months.

Hewlett-Packard shares rose 21 cents to $41.02 today in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. They have declined 2.6 percent this year.

DataPass pricing starts at $5 for 75 megabytes of data, or five hours of Web browsing, rising to $30 for 1 gigabyte, or 30 days, the company said. Consumers who sign up for U.S. wireless broadband plans typically pay $50 to $60 for 5 gigabytes, plus early termination and activation fees.
Staying Connected

“This might bring in some recurring revenue for HP, but what they’re really trying to do is give the customer the ability to be connected anytime, anywhere and give them the various options to buy their PCs over some other device,” said Tim Bajarin, president of technology consulting firm Creative Strategies Inc. in Campbell, California.

Hewlett-Packard, working with Peregrine Network Inc., is getting the wireless bandwidth from Sprint Nextel Corp. (S), similar to the way Amazon.com Inc. offers its Whispernet service to Kindle e-reader customers.

The ProBook 5330m, which starts at $799, measures less than 1 inch thick and is the company’s first business notebook to include enhanced audio from its partnership with Beats by Dr. Dre, a product line developed by the rapper and producer. The EliteBook 2560 starts at $1,099.

Hewlett-Packard and other makers of corporate laptops, including Dell Inc. (DELL) and Lenovo Group Ltd., are trying to entice buyers by adding more consumer-friendly features, such as better sound and screens and backlit keyboards.

Businesses have shown interest in computers with more consumer features, as long as they offer ways to secure important information, Hockey said.
