ASR1002-X: Cisco ASR1000-series router, QuantumFlow processor, 5G system bandwidth, WAN aggregation, SPA slot, SIP10, OTV, VPL, LISP, RP1
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers aggregate multiple WAN connections and network services, including encryption and traffic management and forward them across WAN connections at line speeds. These speeds range from 2.5 to 200 Gbps. The routers contain both hardware and software redundancy in an industry leading high-availability design.
The latest addition to the Ciso ASR Family is the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router, a single rack unti (RU) router supporting 2.5 to 20 Gbps forwarding capacity. Cisco ASR 1001-X Router speeds can be “turned up” incrementally to as much as 20 Gbps with a simple throughput upgrade license, rather than having to purchase additional hardware blades or new routers.
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series supports Cisco IOS XE Software, a modular operating system with modular packaging, feature velocity, and powerful resiliency. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Service Processors (ESPs), which are based on Cisco Quantum Processor technology, accerlerate many advanced features such as crypto- based access security; Network Address Translation (NAT), thread with Cisco Zone- Based Firewall (ZBFW), deep packet inspection (DPI), Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE), and a diverse set of date center interconnect (DCI) features. These services are implemented in Cisco IOS XE Software without the need for additional hardward support.
Cisco ASR 1000 Routers sit are the edge of your enterprise data center or large office connecting to the WAN, as well as in service provider points of presence (POPs). The Cisco ASR 1000 Series will benefit the following types of customers:
- Enterprises experiencing explosive network traffic as mobility, cloud networking, and video and collaboration usage ramp up. Cisco ASRs consolidate these various traffic streams and apply traffic management and redundancy properties to them to maintain consistent performance among enterprise sites and cloud locations.
- Network service providers needing to deliver high-performance services, such as DCI and branch-office server aggregation, to business customers. Service providers can also use the multiservice routers to deploy hosted and managed services to business and multimedia services to residential customers.
- Existing Cisco 7200 Series Router (End-of-Sale) customers looking for simple migration to a new multiservice platform that delivers greater performance with the same design.
