Selecting the Cisco ASR1001X-AIS-AX as your network routing solution provides numerous benefits. Firstly, it offers versatility. It’s a compact device with low to medium network demands and suited for both enterprise environments and MSPs. Secondly, scalability is at its core; with the system bandwidth starting at 2.5G, it can be easily upgraded to 5G, 10G, or even 20G, adapting to your network’s growing demands without the need for immediate hardware replacement.
Security also stands out, as the Cisco ASR1001X-AIS-AX features hardware-based encryption, facilitating secure communications up to 8 Gbps. The router also supports redundancy, ensuring that your network remains operational even during unforeseen scenarios. However, note that this requires an additional license purchase which is typical for Cisco’s modular feature capabilities.
Its built-in Gigabit Ethernet and SFP+ ports provide ample connectivity options for a range of network topologies. Plus, with a quad-core 2.13Ghz processor and 4GB of DRAM, the router can handle intensive tasks and multiple services efficiently. The flash memory, expandable through the external USB port, provides additional storage for configurations and software.
Cost efficiency is another reason to opt for this router. The integrated service and route processors eliminate the need for multiple separate components, reducing initial expenditure and ongoing maintenance costs. And, being a 1RU device, it conserves valuable rack space which is a critical factor in data centers.
Moreover, Cisco’s reputation for reliable and durable products implies that your investment is protected. Their devices often provide many years of service with less downtime due to hardware failures. Lastly, the router is part of the reputable ASR 1000 series, which is well-supported with firmware updates and has a large community of users for peer support. All these reasons make the Cisco ASR1001X-AIS-AX an intelligent purchase for a future-proof and secure network infrastructure.
The Cisco ASR1001X-AIS-AX Router is a 1-rack-unit (1RU) platform targeted towards the low to medium Enterprise and Managed Service Provider use cases. Its compact form factor has a built-in Route Processor, Embedded Services Processor (ESP) and Shared Port Adapter (SIP) Interface processor.
