Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers have been purpose-built to address the dynamic challenges at the network edge. They establish an entirely new price-to-performance class for edge routing solutions and are among the most powerful and compact routers in the industry.

The ASR 1000 Series offers services providers:

  • Industry-leading processing performance coupled with scalable service intelligence
  • ”Instant-on” virtual service delivery that simplifies networks by eliminating blades and appliances
  • An easily scalable compact form factor that minimizes space and power needs, and reduces operating expenses (OpEx)
  • Programmability to meet the new and emerging requirements of "any play" service delivery

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers transform the network edge as they:

  • Accelerate service delivery with enhanced parallel processing power combined with hierarchical quality of service
  • Establish a new edge routing price-to-performance benchmark for enterprise advanced routing, service provider edge, and broadband aggregation
  • Simplify the network and improve availability by eliminating blades or multiple appliance networks
  • Reduce operating expenses (OpEx) and capital expenditures (CapEx) by integrating service capabilities onto a single multipurpose platform
  • Use an industry-leading fully integrated and programmable router engine to increase scalability, operating efficiency, service velocity, and networking flexibility

Two Cisco innovations power the ASR 1000 Series: the Cisco QuantumFlow processor (QFP) and the new modular Cisco IOS XE Software. The Cisco QFP combines massive parallel processing, advanced memory and traffic management with virtualized services on silicon that are fully programmable creating an entirely new architecture for edge networks.

Cisco IOS XE is based on IOS Software Release 12.2SR and provides simple in-service upgradeability, a backward compatible command-line interface, feature velocity, and powerful resiliency. The QFP is the world’s most powerful networking silicon. This innovation creates faster, application-aware services and increases overall service capacity. That means more individual advanced services can be deployed concurrently without the performance degradation found in other architectures, and they can be turned on instantly, without the need of an additional blade.

Rethinking Business-Class Managed Services

Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers help enable concurrent managed services capabilities for service providers. It simplifies overall network deployments, allowing for service delivery from a single, compact platform. The Cisco ASR 1000 becomes a critical component for managed services delivery over a WAN platform.

Managed services delivered through Cisco ASR Series routers offer the following benefits:

  • Service Prioritization on a Per-User Basis: Application visibility, classification, and control provides for more flexible service delivery. It allows the network to elevate the priority of unified communications and collaboration, as well as video.
  • Highly Secure Ecosystems: Service providers can offer Collaboration as a Service, a set of managed services that optimize the performance and delivery of applications that allow for effective secure global communications.
