Read a discussion about the Cisco ASR 9000 Series
Router with Andy Schutz and Dennis Cai.
Facilitate the evolution of Carrier Ethernet networks by setting a new foundational baseline for the edge. This
foundation starts with the exceptional scale delivered by Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, up to 6.4 terabits per
second (Tbps) per system. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series delivers a true carrier-class solution by using the modular, microkernel-based Cisco
IOS XR Software operating system, comprehensive system redundancy, and a full complement of network resiliency schemes.
In addition to offering a unique service and application-level intelligence that focuses on optimized video
delivery and mobile aggregation, Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers are also equipped with the support of a full set of service activation
and provisioning systems that are designed to simplify and enhance the operational and deployment aspects of service-delivery networks.
These attributes combine to form a new benchmark at the Ethernet edge. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is uniquely positioned for the following applications:
- Residential "any-play" services (cable, DSL, PON, and ETTx)
- Business Layer 2 VPN and Layer 3 VPN services
- Mobile aggregation
- Video service-delivery networks
