Cisco 12000 Series Routers Model

Cisco 12000 Series Routers Model (cont.)

The Cisco 12000 Series offers the only portfolio 10-Gbps systems with the
capacity, performance, service enablers, and operational efficiencies to build
the most competitive IP networks.

Elements of the Cisco 12000 Series include:

An array of chassis options that fit your scaling and real-estate
requirements
A superior distributed architecture where important components are
distributed across line cards, helping ensure higher performance and system
availability
An extensive portfolio of line cards and options such as redundant gigabit
route processors and a 1:N redundant, modular switch fabric that delivers
interface diversity, high performance, and high availability
Industry-leading Cisco IOS Software to help enable the delivery of a
comprehensive suite of software features that are needed to support today's
networks and tomorrow's value-added services
Cisco 12000 Router Manager to help customers deploy, configure, and
manage Cisco 12000 Series products

12000 Important Features:

Cisco I-Flex design--A portfolio of shared port adapters

(SPAs) and SPA interface processors (SIPs) that prioritize

voice, video, and data services so you can meet your
customers' diverse service needs and stringent service-level
agreements
Advanced software technologies, for high standards of routing
performance and QoS
Comprehensive high-availability support to help avoid
planned and unplanned network downtime
Integrated core and edge feature set, supporting a wide range

The relationship between Cisco XR 12000 and

Cisco 12000
The Cisco XR 12000 Series and Cisco 12000 Series routers are:

A portfolio of intelligent routing solutions that scale from 2.5- to 10-Gbps

capacity per slot,
Helping enable carrier-class IP/MPLS networks and accelerating your
company's evolution to IP NGNs.
Currently more than 500 customers use an installed base of more than
25,000 Cisco 12000 Series routers with Cisco IOS Software.
To meet the current and future needs of these customers, Cisco Systems
will continue to invest in Cisco IOS and Cisco IOS XR Software and in new
hardware. The Cisco XR 12000 Series offers you a smooth upgrade path for
your installed base of market-leading Cisco 12000 Series as you transition to
a converged IP NGN infrastructure.

IP NGN
A sweeping transformation of both a service provider's entire
network and its business.
The IP NGN constantly evolves to adapt to customer demand
and new technology opportunities.
The Cisco IP NGN is about more than voice; it encompasses
all of a service provider's current and future services. It is
important to recognize that most growth will occur in services
such as data and video.
