Infinian Technology Dealer, Distributor and Partner of Cisco ASR 1000 Series (Aggregation Services Routers) in India – Bangalore and Chennai for Price/Cost Call: 9739091119

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series (Aggregation Services Routers) is a family of high-performance edge routers designed for enterprise WAN or service-provider POP deployments. They combine robust packet services (such as encryption, NAT, QoS, firewall, DPI) with scalable, carrier-grade routing at multi-gigabit speeds

Models & Capacity

Routers range from compact to modular chassis:

Model	Form Factor	ESP Support	Throughput
ASR 1001‑HX/X	1 RU	Built-in	Up to ~60–100 Gbps
ASR 1002‑HX	2 RU	Built-in	Up to 100 Gbps
ASR 1004/1006/1009/1013‑X	Modular	Up to multiple ESP slots	Scalable with up to 40 Gbps ESPs

These routers are especially valuable for organizations experiencing explosive growth in traffic due to mobility, video, and cloud applications. They consolidate traffic streams and apply intelligent traffic management to maintain consistent performance across distributed sites.

🚀 Key Features

Security: Integrated threat defense, IPsec/SSL VPN, zone-based firewall, and Cisco Umbrella integration

Throughput Range: From 2.5 Gbps to 200 Gbps, depending on model and ESP configuration

Modular Architecture:

Route Processor (RP): RP1, RP2, and RP3 options for control plane

Embedded Services Processor (ESP): Accelerates packet forwarding and services

Cisco QuantumFlow Processor (QFP): Hardware-accelerated services like NAT, firewall, VPN, DPI, and more

Software: Runs Cisco IOS XE, a modular, Linux-based OS with programmability and automation

High Availability: Redundant hardware and software, hot-swappable components

🧠 Services Supported

• Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE)
• Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)
• Application Visibility and Control (AVC)
• Data Center Interconnect (DCI)
• SD-WAN compatibility

🏢 Ideal Use Cases

• Enterprise WAN aggregation
• Data center interconnect (DCI)
• Hosted and managed services
• Multimedia service delivery
• Cloud edge routing

Strengths & Advantages

1. Mature platform — well-tested, many deployments; rich feature set.
2. Hardware acceleration for services — so services (encryption, NAT, firewall etc.) don’t kill performance.
3. Scalable — you can buy smaller, and grow (more slots, higher ESP).
4. Redundancy & high availability — many models support dual route processors, redundant power supplies, In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU), Non-stop forwarding etc.
5. Feature richness — large protocol support, multiple WAN technologies, GRE, BGP, multicast, etc
