Cisco 3825 and 2811XM Routers for Local bank.

Current project is a little different from the last large one I had the consisted mostly of desktop roll-out. This one involves Cisco gear and is more interesting but also more challenging. The Cisco routers are 3825 and 2811 routers from Cisco. There are two 3825s and 11 2811s. The 3825s are for the bank core and the 2811s are for the branches. The cores are going to be the most complicated. They are replacing some older routers and yes they are at the core of the bank communications. They have coming into them all of the frame-relay circuits for all of their branches. Which means I am bringing the entire bank down - branches and main all at once when they go in.

Routers and switches reach end-of-sale and end-of-life much faster because of shorter development times. New features and demand for faster access increase the rate in which new features are added to networking hardware. much like the server and desktop industry, feature demand is increasing at a faster rate with new innovations in technologies online and on local networks and systems. 
The latest push for faster and more robust features is the current AI demand. AI is the latest of a series of innovative technologies that are capturing the imagination of developers and industry specialists. Switching hardware and routers need to keep up with these developments to deliver the quality and features expected with these products. Software for providing technical support such as software for online desktop support for example still plays a role in improving user experience and enabling the captivating features developed to become a reality. There will also always be a need to technical support.the need for technical support will always be present .
