Table 2 shows the business benefits.

Business need	Features/description
Lightweight, compact size with low power consumption	Can be deployed in many different environments where space, heat dissipation, and low power consumption are critical factors (Including Cisco Pluggable smaller form factor technology).
High performance to run concurrent services	High performance allows customers to take advantage of broadband network speeds while running secure, concurrent data, voice, video, and wireless services. C1160 models will have better overall performance.
High availability and business continuity	Redundant WAN connections for failover protection and load balancing. Dynamic failover protocols such as Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP; RFC 2338), Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), and Multigroup HSRP (MHSRP).
Consistent, high application performance levels	The router can run multiple services simultaneously with minimal performance degradation.
Risk mitigation with multilevel security	Network perimeter security with integrated application inspection firewall. Data privacy through high-speed IP Security (IPsec) Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES), and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. High-performance VPNs: DMVPN, FlexVPN, GETVPN. Encrypted Traffic Analytics (ETA) to identify malware communications in encrypted traffic using passive monitoring, extraction of relevant data elements, and supervised machine learning with cloud-based global visibility. Cisco Umbrellais a cloud security platform that provides the first line of defense against threats on the internet wherever users go. Security hardware acceleration. Trustworthy systems with Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and hardware anchor.
Unified control of wired and wireless networks from a common console for streamlined operations	Simplifies and centralizes configuration and management of wireless and wireline devices. Supports WLAN services without requiring a wireless LAN controller. Supports Mobility Express for WLAN-enabled routers.
Remote configuration and management to keep local IT staff lean	Supports separate console and USB ports. Can be configured to work with optional USB token. Supports TR-069.
Performance Throughput Service reliability	ISR 1100 can provide encrypted traffic performance greater than 350 Mbps. A distributed multicore architecture with the dedicated control plane and service plane. Remote installation of application-aware services that run identically to their counterparts in dedicated appliances (Future roadmap).
Lower WAN expenditures	Cisco Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) support for optimized WAN connection. Smaller form factor and Cisco Pluggable technology provide additional protection investment and flexibility.
Pay as you grow: IPsec performance upgrade model	Router IPsec capacity can be increased with a remote performance-on-demand license upgrade (no hardware upgrade) for exceptional savings and CapEx budget management.
IT consolidation, space savings, and improved Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)	Single converged branch platform integrates routing, switching, security, and performance management capabilities.
Business continuity and increased resiliency	The entire 1000 Series supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) and PoE+ power to endpoints (Not available on C1101 and C1109 smaller form factor series).
