Benefits of Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge System

The Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge system architecture offers these benefits:
1 The Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge System appears as a single switch or router to the neighboring
devices.
2 You can logically link two physical chassis with a shared control plane, as if the chassis were two route
switch processors (RSPs) within a single chassis. As a result, you can double the bandwidth capacity of
single nodes and eliminate the need for complex protocol-based high-availability schemes.
3 You can achieve fail over times of less than 50 milliseconds for even the most demanding services and
scalability needs.
4 You can manage the cluster as a single entity rather than two entities. Better resiliency is available due to
chassis protecting one another.
5 Cisco nV technology allows you to extend Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router system capabilities beyond the
physical chassis with remote virtual line cards. These small form-factor (SFF) Cisco ASR 9000v cards
can aggregate hundreds of Gigabit Ethernet connections at the access and aggregation layers.
6 You can scale up to thousands of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces without having to separately provision
hundreds or thousands of access platforms. This helps you to simplify the network architecture and reduce
the operating expenses (OpEx).
7 The multi-chassis capabilities of Cisco IOS XR Software are employed. These capabilities are extended
to allow for enhanced chassis resiliency including data plane, control plane, and management plane
protection in case of complete failure of any chassis in the Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV Edge System.
8 You can reduce the number of pseudo wires required for achieving pseudowire redundancy.
9 The nV Edge system allows seamless addition of new chassis. There would be no disruption in traffic or
control session flap when a chassis is added to the system.
