Cisco 7200 Series Routers

"The Cisco 7206 VXR routers fulfilled their initial purpose and their versatility and modularity now allow us to use them for new tasks. We left them right where they were connected, upgraded to the NPE-G2 processor engine for almost twice the performance, and implemented the IP SLA capability and VoIP gatekeeper features in Cisco IOS® Software. The ability to extend our original investment saved us millions of dollars in new deployments."

-John Burns, VP of Network Services, Wachovia

"The Cisco 7200 VXR Series Router is the Provider Edge platform of choice in our MPLS network. It delivers the high performance we require for aggregating revenue-generating services traffic. Its exceptional stability and versatility enable us to easily upgrade to the new NPE-G2 processor engine and add the new Port Adapter Jacket Card. With 50 percent more slot capacity, we are taking advantage of full OC-3 connectivity and expanding our connectivity capabilities. The new 7200 VXR Services Aggregation solutions are impressive."

-Boris Druzhinin, Head of Innovation Projects Department, RTComm.RU

"Because we meet on an ongoing basis, Cisco is aware of our needs and quick to provide business solutions. They knew we had an internet bandwidth issue caused by Napster bandwidth demands. We didn't have an affordable service to expand our bandwidth, so combining NBAR with the high performance of the 7200 we were able to manage the capacity problems we experienced on our internet link. The NBAR product on the 7200 has allowed us to survive the fall semester and regain control of bandwidth usage on the link."

-Dick Johnson, Network Services Manager for James Madison University

"As a provider of next-generation Business Partner Infrastructure Services, we needed a solution that could provide a flexible termination point for a large number of DSL sessions originating with a number of third-party last-mile carriers, while also providing complex connectivity solutions for our direct-connected ATM, Internet VPN and dial customers. After evaluating the solutions of several other vendors, we quickly realized that no other solution matched the 7200's combination of high performance and best-of-breed intelligent policy-based network services. Unlike other products that seem to be singly focused on pure throughput, the Cisco 7200 also provides the scalability, flexibility, reliability and manageability that we need to provide our fully integrated network services and infrastructure applications."

-Charles H. Lewis, CTO and Executive Vice President of Platform Development

"Our success in network innovation is evidenced by our No. 1 ranking by Boardwatch magazine. This expansion positions Intermedia as a next generation data and Internet provider and continues our leadership in IP-based networks," said Gene Noble, vice president for Advanced Data Services for Intermedia Communications. "Cisco's solution helps us to meet the increasing capacity and quality-of-service needs of our Internet-based business customers through state-of-the-art services like virtual private networks. What's more, this network migration to higher speeds allows us to offer services to the fast-growing IP wholesale transit marketplace."

-Gene Noble, Vice President for Advanced Data Services

"We wanted products that would allow us to provide global Internet services and that would allow us to scale our network and offer new services without a large capital investment. Flexibility of the 7200 VXR was very important to us. We will begin to offer new services by using features of Cisco IOS, such as QoS, delay and bandwidth guarantees, and enabling IP VPNs. The Cisco 7200 gives Kaznet the required amount of router growth and power."
