Distinguishing features of the Cisco 3660 include
integrated power redundancy and module hot-swap
capabilities, which provide higher product availability for
mission-critical applications. The integrated ports on the
motherboard of the Cisco 3660 free up all six network
module slots to enable higher densities of LAN/WAN or
multiservice aggregation. The additional slots of the Cisco
3660 combined with the expanding capabilities of enhanced
network modules enable new business applications, such as
higher densities of packetized voice aggregation and
branch-office Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) access
ranging from T1/E1 Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA) to
OC-3 speeds.
