Cisco Ships Half a Million Integrated Services Routers and
Achieves Fastest Product Ramp in Company History
Cisco helps Pep Boys increase network flexibility, resiliency
and security at its 593 retail locations
SAN JOSE, Calif., October 3, 2005 - Cisco Systems today announced
that it has reached a major milestone by shipping its 500,000th
Cisco integrated services router to Pep Boys, the leading
automotive aftermarket retailer and service chain in the United
States. Pep Boys will use this advanced networking technology to
reduce register transaction time and improve customer service
processes. This milestone marks the fastest product ramp in Cisco
history.
"Since Cisco introduced the integrated services router portfolio,
we've seen tremendous demand from customers worldwide. Users are
realizing up to a 40 to 50 percent decrease in set-up costs and
deployment times with these new Cisco routers," said Ian Pennell,
senior vice president, Cisco Access
Business Unit. "In less than
one year, Cisco has shipped 500,000 routers to thousands of
customers of all sizes spanning vertical markets including retail,
healthcare,
real estate, automotive,
financial,
government and education. This strong momentum has further
reinforced Cisco's leadership in the global routing market."
Credit Pacific Service Union It took Cisco six months to ship the first 100,000 integrated
services routers, and another six months to reach 500,000. This
rapid adoption proves that organizations want to integrate
security, voice and wireless services concurrently into their
network while maintaining high levels of performance. This helps
allow them to protect, optimize and enhance their businesses while
investing for future needs.

Pep Boys Chooses Cisco Integrated Services Routers to Modernize
their Business
For example, we use an outside shipping company (the United States Postal Service) to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services.
Card Credit Mobile Service Pep Boys has equipped each of its 593 retail locations with a
Cisco 2811 integrated services router, designed to meet the
performance and density requirements to deliver new levels of
security, concurrent with other high-performance services. Pep Boys
also deployed quality of service features on the routers to
prioritize real-time credit card transactions and authorization
traffic. This reduces transaction time at the register and enables
Pep Boys to improve their customer service. Pep Boys is also
building the foundation to support other new embedded services such
as IP Telephony, call management and voice mail.
We use an outside shipping company to ship orders (FedEx, DHL, USPS, or UPS), and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services.
Card Credit Discover Service "At Pep Boys, we consistently evaluate ways to enhance our
customer experiences and optimize access to information. We want to
connect all of our retail stores and provide access to inventory
and corporate applications. Additionally, we want customers to have
the
best possible experiences in a
Pep Boys store," said Rich Quinney, systems manager for
telecommunications services at Pep Boys. "The Cisco 2811
integrated services routers can help us do that. The most
important capabilities we plan to incorporate such as security,
QoS and voice are already built into the box."
Cisco Channel Partners and Service Providers See Broad Reach
Cisco Systems, Inc., is the largest manufacturer of networking systems in the world. It dominates the router and switch market to the extent that Cisco routers and switches are considered by many networking professionals to set the standard for all other companies. Cisco routers, switches, and other equipment keep running without problems, are readily upgraded, are easily adapted to new network configurations, and are compatible with virtually every transport or access method.
Credit Public Service Union "We've seen a strong demand from our customers for the new Cisco
integrated services routers," says Jim Teter, president of Avnet
Enterprise Solutions, a Cisco Gold Certified Partner. "The uptake
has been so rapid because these routers are helping customers
enable the voice and security functions in the integrated services
router platform, especially branch offices or single site
deployments. For instance, Fred Loya, an automotive insurance
company, and SXC Health Solutions, a healthcare transaction
processing company, are looking to the Cisco integrated services
routers to provide integrated security capabilities such as
intrusion prevention features, while setting the stage for IP
telephony."
