Updated: June 2011
The Cisco ACE30 Module for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers represents the next generation of application switches for maximizing availability, acceleration and security of data center applications. The new ACE30 Module for the Catalyst 6500 family of enterprise-class switches and the Cisco 7600 family of routers offers superior price-performance and an expanded set of functionalities over the prior ACE10 and ACE20 modules. In addition to features supported on ACE10 and ACE20, the new ACE30 offers advanced features like HTTP compression and Dynamic Workload Scaling (DWS). The ACE30 has 2X the SSL performance and 50 percent more Layer 4 connections per second than the prior ACE10 or ACE20 Modules. This document provides the ordering information for hardware and software components of the Cisco ACE30 module.

Because of the way the Cisco ordering configuration tools work, the $0 top level service SKUs for the hardware and software have been linked to the Product ID. These SKUs will expand to the standard ACE30 module and software license support SKUs, thereby pulling in the standard service list prices shown in the above chart. For an example, see the completion of Section 4.5 below. Note that customers who are migrating to an ACE30 may want service credit for the unused portion of want their ACE10 or ACE20 service contracts. Normal service crediting policies and processes should be followed.

ACE30 bundles offer pre-defined combinations of Catalyst 6500 Chassis, Supervisor and ACE30 modules at highly competitive pricing. Currently four bundles are offered, two of which are complete system bundles including line cards. Though not covered in the below step-by-step instructions, additional ACE30 modules, Catalyst 6500 line cards and Catalyst 6500 supervisors can be added to these bundled systems through normal ordering methods.
1. Enter one of the four ACE30 Bundle options below in the configuration tool.

2. Select the line (in this case line 1) and then press the configure button. In the Select Options tab you will see that a number of items are pre-configured as included. In this case the Supervisor and the ACE30-MOD-K9 are included. Though not shown here, you still must configure all the configurable components of the Catalyst switch in the Bundle, including items such as Software, Module (other than ACE30), Power Cord and Kit Options. The ACE30 options are pre-set as part of the Bundle and are not, need not, be configured.

Updated: June 2011
3. Having selected the configurable components, your order will look same/similar to the following.
4. Note that if you also wish to add additional ACE30 Modules to a bundle order, during the configuration of components you can choose to add in ACE30 Modules in the available Module Options. Configuration would then follow same steps as presented in Section 4.1 of this document, Ordering Process for ACE30 module as part of a Catalyst 6500 switch chassis or 7600 router chassis.

Updated: June 2011
5. Having added the configured system to the order, the appropriate service lines will automatically be added since the tool had Hardware and Software Service Level selected to Apply to new service lines only.

Updated: June 2011
As stated earlier, the new ACE30 Module for the Catalyst 6500 family of enterprise-class switches and the Cisco 7600 family of routers offers superior price-performance and an expanded set of functionalities over the prior ACE10 and ACE20 modules. In addition to features supported on ACE10 and ACE20, the new ACE30 offers advanced features like HTTP compression and Dynamic Workload Scaling (DWS). The ACE30 has 2X the SSL performance and 50 percent more Layer 4 connections per second than the prior ACE10 or ACE20 Modules. In support of the migration from ACE10 and ACE20 modules to the ACE30 module, Cisco is offering attractively priced upgrades for each throughput tier of ACE10/ ACE20. For each throughput tier (4G, 8G, 16G) the upgrades provides the customer with a new ACE30 Module, with the same throughput that include maximized levels of SSL, Compression and Virtual Contexts. All three of these upgrades are offered at the same price, simplifying the ordering process. Due to their unique nature, they cannot be ordered as part of a system chassis order and instead must be ordered as spares.
r
The ordering process for upgrade of ACE10 Module or ACE20 Module to ACE30 Module is: 1. Determine the current throughput license for the ACE10 or ACE20 that the customer had purchased . Generally this can be done by using the show license command on the ACE10 / ACE20 Module, as described in the Administration Guide for the ACE Module. It may also be necessary to review original ordering/ sales records to ascertain the throughput license as 4G, 8G or 16G if customer does not have the purchased licensed installed on the ACE 10 / ACE20 Module, or if these are not on line at the time of the upgrade ordering. For customers who previously upgraded from 4G to 8G, or 8G to 16G license on their ACE10 / ACE20 Module, the highest level licenses shall be used for the purpose of the upgrade to ACE30 Module.

3. Upon selection, you will note that there are no configurable options. The ordering tools require you to click Check Configuration.

Updated: June 2011
4. This will complete the configuration with the included licensing. Select the Add to
Order button.

Updated: June 2011
5. This will complete the order process for the ACE-UPG-16-K9 line item, which includes the pre-configured ACE30 Module hardware, ACE software and appropriate ACE30 license.
As noted in Section 3.4, because of the way the Cisco ordering configuration tools work, the $0 top level service SKUs for the hardware and software have been linked to the Product ID. In the example below, this is the Line 2. These SKUs will then break down to the standard ACE30 module and software license support SKUs, thereby pulling in the standard service list prices that are the same as if the customer had independently purchased an ACE30 module with corresponding ACE30 license. These are shown in Lines 2.1 and 2.2 in the example.

Updated: June 2011
6. When any of the above are ordered, a new ACE30 Module with the corresponding
license as per the ordered Part Number will be shipped to the customer.
7. The customer, with help from the account team, must return the existing ACE10 or
ACE20 Module using the Cisco Takeback and Recycle Program according to directions provided in the upgrade packaging. For customers with especially sensitive data use, an alternative method for certification of customer destruction is also included. In addition, any ACE10 or ACE20 Module throughput upgrade license used as basis for the ACE30 Module upgrade is now voided (as used for the upgrade).
8. Finally, once the ACE10 or ACE20 Modules are removed from service, the customer
should seek a service credit for the unused portion of their ACE10 or ACE20 service contracts. Normal service crediting policies and processes should be followed.

Updated: June 2011
In Q2FY11, the Data Center Application Services Business Unit completed a major refresh of the ACE portfolio that included the introduction of the following:
