Network operators gain the bandwidth, density, and scale needed to outpace increasing traffic demands.
Enables greater savings by reducing the number of routers (and optics) required. |
|
High performance |
Groundbreaking Silicon One innovation powers the 8800 Series with unparalleled packet processing leveraging powerful memory architecture. |
Exceptional packet processing capabilities help alleviate the challenge of scaling the network as traffic increases while optimizing functionality for superior performance and seamless deployment. |
|
Advanced security |
● Enhances the security posture of your network by helping you measure, audit, verify, and enforce the trustworthiness of your network infrastructure.
● With a hardware-anchored root of trust, IOS XR security features, and remote security attestation, you can establish device integrity from boot time to run time. These features can help prevent the execution of unvalidated or malicious software across your network.
|
Provides robust, integrated security features that protect the network from threats, helping ensure data integrity and compliance with regulatory requirements. |
|
High availability (HA) |
● The 8800 Series is designed with full hardware redundancy for cooling, power supply, route processors (RPs), and switch fabric.
● IOS XR supports graceful RP failover.
|
HA is a critical requirement for maintaining an always-on infrastructure to meet stringent Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) across the core. |
|
Energy efficiency |
System design incorporates advanced thermal telemetry that supports dynamic fan control algorithms to drive lower power consumption. |
Enables a substantial positive environmental impact and cost savings. |
|
Investment protection |
Backward compatible with previous generation, as well as ready for future expansion to higher-speed ports and bandwidth. |
Reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) |
