Description
Cisco ASR1001X Router Kenya
The Cisco ASR1001X Kenya Router features the latest router with a single-rack-unit (RU) router supporting 2.5- to 20-Gbps forwarding capacity. Cisco ASR1001X Router speeds can be upgraded to as much as 20 Gbps with a simple throughput upgrade license, rather than having to purchase additional hardware blades or new routers. Cisco ASR1001-X Kenya Aggregation Services Router features aggregate 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 router contains both hardware and software redundancy in an industry-leading high-availability design.
The Cisco ASR1001-X 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 QuantumFlow 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 ASR1001-X Kenya 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). The Cisco ASR1001-X Kenya 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.
Features
High Availability
Redundant hardware components and power supplies
- Cisco ASR1001-X Kenya provides system and business continuity.
Stateful interchassis redundancy
- Redundant hardware combined with modular software contains faults preventing systemwide failure.
- Cisco ASR1001-X Kenya enables redundancy across routers by using a pair of routers to act as backup for each other. Provides 99.999% (“five-nines”) availability for consistent, high-performance user application experiences.
In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) support
- No need to schedule downtime windows; changes are made while Cisco ASR1001-X Kenya router keeps on working, with nonstop routing availability.
Cisco IOS XE Software Sub-Package Mode
- Ability to upgrade individual software components with reduced upgrade time.
Scalable Capacity and Throughput
Cisco QuantumFlow Processor-based platform
- Enables advanced services to operate at high speeds without the need for additional hardware or blades.
Hardware acceleration
- Cisco ASR1001-X Kenya boasts of features like QoS, crypto, and access control lists (ACLs) are processed in hardware.
Control and forwarding-plane separation
- Ability to scale control plane and data plane independent of each other.
Investment Protection
With Software modularity, Cisco ASR1001-X Kenya provides the following benefits :
- Allows you to mix and match the services that best meet your business needs; no “wasted” investments on capabilities you don’t need.
Pay-as-you-grow licensing with “-X” models
- When you need greater throughput, you simply activate it with a change in software license, rather than having to expend capital for additional hardware.
Cisco Shared Port Adapters (SPAs)
- Allow you to reuse your investment in network I/O across platforms.
Cisco Network Interface Modules (NIMs)
- Allow you to reuse your investment in network I/O across platforms.
