Routers & Gateways

Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers deliver exceptional scale, service flexibility, and high availability to Carrier Ethernet transport networks. The routers are powered by Cisco IOS XR Software, an innovative self-healing, distributed operating system designed for always-on operation. This is the same operating system that powers industry-leading routers such as the Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System, bringing the same reliability, scalability, performance, and comprehensive features that have made the Cisco CRS the dominant entity in the service provider core. Cisco IOS XR Software also allows for an end-to-end IP/MPLS solution to service provider requirements based on the same software, thereby reducing the operational complexity of managing multiple operating systems. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series further enhances the IP Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) Carrier Ethernet design for converged, resilient, intelligent, and scalable transport of consumer, business, wholesale, and mobile services.

The Cisco® ASR 9000v employs the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Network Virtualization (nV) technology. The nV technology revolutionizes networks by integrating access and edge into one nV system. The Cisco ASR 9000v operates as an extension shelf of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, providing delivery of Cisco ASR 9000 services from the ASR 9000v. This nV technology dramatically lowers operational costs by simplifying the access and edge network, and delivers tremendous service and network scale through the use of the Cisco ASR 9000 distributed control plane and feature processing.
