Description

Cisco ASR1013 Aggregation Service Router Kenya

The Cisco ASR1013 Kenya is Aggregation Service Router provides a Software Defined WAN platform that aggregates multiple WAN connections and network services including encryption and traffic management, and forward them across WAN connections at line speeds from 2.5 to 200 Gbps. The Cisco ASR1013 Kenya supports Cisco IOS XE Software, a modular operating system with modular packaging, feature velocity, and powerful resiliency. The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Embedded Services Processors (ESPs), which are based on Cisco Flow Processor technology, accelerate many advanced features such as crypto-based access security; Network Address Translation (NAT), thread defense with Cisco Zone-Based Firewall (ZBFW), Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE), and a diverse set of Data-Center-Interconnect (DCI) features. These services are implemented in Cisco IOS XE Software without the need for additional hardware support.

Cisco ASR1013 Kenya router sit at the edge of your enterprise data center or large office connecting to the WAN, as well as in service provider Points Of Presence (POPs). Cisco ASR1013 Kenya provide solution to Enterprises experiencing explosive network traffic as mobility, cloud networking, and video and collaboration usage increase. Cisco ASR1013 Kenya consolidate these various traffic streams and apply traffic management and redundancy properties to them to maintain consistent performance among enterprise sites and cloud locations. Also, for 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. Moreover, for 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.

Features

Cisco Software-Defined WAN

Cisco SD-WAN can be enabled on the Cisco ASR1013 Kenya with IOS-XE. Cisco SD-WAN offers an entirely new way to manage and operate your WAN infrastructure. Cisco SD-WAN is a cloud delivered architecture that offers secure, flexible and rich services ensuring :

• Better user experience : The ability to deploy applications in minutes, on any platform, with a consistent user experience. Deliver predictable performance for applications residing in the data center or in the cloud.
• Greater agility : Faster, easier deployment and operation of your WAN, and get faster performance using less bandwidth. Add new revenue generating services in minutes not months.
• Advanced threat protection : Securely connect your users to applications in minutes and protect your data from the WAN edge to the cloud. Secure segmentation for critical assets and multi-layer, robust security that encrypts all data.

SD-WAN Integrated Security

In order to efficiently connect to multiple cloud infrastructures many enterprise customers want to build an SD-WAN infrastructure that uses Direct Internet Access (DIA). This can save costs and reduce complexity by reducing WAN traffic backhauled to your data centers; however, connecting branches directly to the internet without the right security controls exposes your network to threats and vulnerabilities.

With Cisco SD-WAN and the ASR 1000 series platforms, you have integrated security built-right-in for branch DIA security with these integrated security capabilities :

• Application aware enterprise firewall
• DNS layer enforcement (Umbrella)

And with Cisco SD-WAN security integration you will reduce complexity by having a single management interface (vManage) for both the network and security.

Application visibility

Applications and users are more distributed than ever, and the internet has effectively become the new enterprise WAN. As organizations continue to embrace internet, cloud, and SaaS, network and IT teams are challenged to deliver consistent and reliable connectivity and application performance over networks and services they don’t own or directly control.

The Cisco ASR1013 Kenya is integrated with Cisco ThousandEyes internet and cloud intelligence. IT managers now have expanded visibility, including hop-by-hop analytics, into network underlay, proactive monitoring of SD-WAN overlay, and performance measurement of SaaS applications. This granular visibility ultimately lowers the Mean Time to Identification of Issues (MTTI) and accelerates resolution time.

Unified access security and multi-factor authentication

The Zero trust security model allows secure connections to all applications (whether on premises or in the cloud) based on the trustworthiness of users and devices.
