The Content Engine 500 series offers the following Content Engine models for

high-, medium-, and low-end applications:

Content Engine 590

The Content Engine 590 (CE-590) is a high-end Content Engine that services

Internet service providers and large enterprise networks. The Content Engine sits

on the WAN edge between your large enterprise or service provider network and

the Internet and is designed to handle DS-3 traffic at 45 Mbps speed.

The CE-590 is configured for AC-input power, whereas the CE-590-DC is

configured for DC-input power. The default factory configuration comes with one

power supply installed.

Note For purposes of simplicity, all models of the Content Engine 590 are hereafter

referred to jointly as the CE-590.

The CE-590 has two internal 36-gigabyte (GB) Ultra2 LVD SCSI hard drives and

an external SCSI port for attaching a six-drive Cisco Storage Array that increases

the Content Engine storage capacity by an additional 108 GB (6 x 18 GB).

Functional Description

Table 1-5 lists the storage and memory specifications for the CE-507AV.

Functional Description

Depending on the model you purchased, your Content Engine operates either as a

component of a Content Delivery Network or as a content-caching device.

Content Delivery Network Component

Cisco Content Engines with Cisco CDN software installed are the content

delivery components of a larger Cisco Content Delivery Network (CDN) solution,

which includes content routing, content switching, content distribution and

management, and content services, as well as content delivery. Content Engines

with Cisco CDN software are deployed in conjunction with Content Routers and

Content Distribution Managers to create a complete Content Delivery Network

system.

The CDN solution offers accelerated content delivery, hosting, and other

content-based services. The CDN solution addresses the need to distribute and

receive high-bandwidth, media-rich content across the Internet or an intranet

without performance losses or content delivery delays.

Content Caching Device

Cisco Content Engines with Cisco Cache software installed accelerate content

delivery and optimize bandwidth usage by transparently caching frequently

accessed content and fulfilling content requests locally rather than traversing the

Internet or intranet to a distant server farm each time a request is made. The

Content Engine works in tandem with a router to handle web traffic, including

user requests to view pages and graphics (objects) on World Wide Web

servers—whether internal or external to your network.

To deploy Cisco Content Engines with Cisco Cache software within your existing

network, your network must support Cisco IOS software and the Web Cache

Coordination Protocol (WCCP). WCCP redirects Hypertext Transfer Protocol

(HTTP) traffic to a Content Engine, and the Content Engine responds to those

requests.

For example, when a user requests an object from a web server, the router first

sends the request to a Content Engine. If the Content Engine has a copy of the

requested object in storage, the Content Engine sends the user the object.

Otherwise, the Content Engine simultaneously obtains the requested objects from

the Web server, stores a copy of the objects (caches them), and forwards the

objects on to the user.

By caching web objects in this manner, the Content Engine can speed the

satisfaction of user requests when more than one user wants to access the same

objects. Caching in this manner also reduces the amount of traffic between your

network and the Internet, potentially improving your overall network

performance and optimizing your bandwidth usage.
