The third wave of Internet expansion, the Internet of Everything (IoE), is expected to emerge from the convergence of people, process, data and things. Cisco estimates the value at stake for IoE at $14 trillion over the next 10 years. In addition to massive scalability, IoE requires an intelligent contextual architecture. For IoE, service providers must offer higher security, reliability, and availability with networks that also offer higher service speed and flexibility. In addition, they need network autonomy, process automation, and tools to meet the challenges of managing a much more complex network.

Cisco Network Convergence System is a family of integrated packet transport and routing systems designed to help service providers capture their share of the IoE value at stake. Built on major innovations in network and software, NCS provides the building blocks of a multi-layer converged network that intelligently manages and scales capabilities across its architecture. ACG Research analyzed the business case for NCS and found that it achieves tremendous scale through the multi-chassis system architecture, the density and performance of its new chipset, and the extension of the control plane to virtual machines (VMs) externally. Fully virtualized software improves service velocity and asset utilization by creating a cloud model within the platforms. Virtualization also supports orders of magnitude improvements in system availability and security through isolation and independence from software operations.

Optical innovations reduce the cost of multi-chassis interconnections and optimize the cost. Cisco licensed Network Convergence System, Building the Foundation for the Internet of Everything, provides the architecture to build converged, multi-layer networks that intelligently partition and scale functions to enable IoE and Delivering a system with up to 66% lower total cost of ownership than competitor solutions. This solution Consumes up to 80% less energy than comparable offerings. Accelerated speed of service through fully virtualized software. Increase system availability beyond the five nines by isolating software modules through virtualization. Open the system to cloud-based innovation and cost levels by extending the NCS control plane to virtual machines, both internal and external.

Leadership ROADM (Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer) reconfigurable

Ten years ago, the licensed Cisco NCS brought MSTP ROADM technology to the mainstream, enabling service providers, governments and businesses to deploy a simple yet intelligent, scalable DWDM network with ease of operation. NCS 2000 advances the Cisco ROADM portfolio by introducing nLight ROADM technology.

By supporting contactless reconfiguration via colorless, omnidirectional and controversial add / delete, nLight ROADM-based networks can:

  • Address network errors
  • Dynamically adjust their topology
  • Respond instantly to the new bandwidth

High mesh nets benefit from support up to 16 degrees per board, or 32 degrees in total. Flexible spectrum capacity can greatly improve network efficiency by flexibly optimizing system capacity across the range. Finally, customers can achieve capacities of up to 26 terabits per second per fiber pair.

100 gigabit (GB) optimization

Continuing Cisco’s innovation in 100Gb technology, nLight silicon now extends to the client-side interface using Cisco’s CPAK pluggable transceiver. CPAK’s extremely small footprint and low power consumption enable a single-slot 100Gb DWDM line card with a standards-based 100GBASE-LR4 client interface, resulting in excellent system density of one 100 GB transponder per RU.

One of the models of this series of Cisco products is the Cisco NCS 5000 router, which will be explained below:

Cisco NCS 5000

The Cisco Network Convergence System 5000 or NCS 5000 router, with the powerful Cisco IOS XR operating system, brings various capabilities such as third-party application hosting, machine-to-machine interface, telemetry and flexible package delivery to organizations.

Also, this router is a suitable option for data centers with MPLS infrastructure and communications. Because it can create agility, flexibility and bandwidth for voice, video, data, mobile and cloud communications for these spaces. In addition, by using network virtualization technology, they coordinate different layers of the network and greatly reduce costs.
