Businesses looking for a Router solution that helps enable superior network agility, packet optical convergence, and petabits-per-second system scale
About Cisco Network Convergence System 6000 Series Routers
The Network Convergence System (NCS) 6000 helps enable superior network agility, packet optical convergence, and petabits-per-second system scale. It facilitates the Cisco Evolved Programmable Network to support virtualization and programmability at low total cost of ownership and delivers high-bandwidth mobile, video, and cloud services to end users. Innovations include Cisco nPower X1 NPUs, hardware-enabled true zero-packet, zero-topology loss ISSU, capability to scale beyond 1 petabit in a multi-chassis configuration, enhanced operations support, and packet-optical integration. Use an adaptable power consumption model for both the ASIC and CMOS photonics technology for the lowest carbon footprint in service provider routing today. Easily adapt each line card's power consumption to the number of ports used.
