Cisco NETWORK CONVERGENCE SYSTEM 1002 20 QSFP28/QSFP+ SLOTS NCS1002-K9

In the data center and between data centers, you need greater capacity to meet ever-increasing bandwidth demands along with a small form factor and low power usage to achieve optimal efficiency. Greater scale, agility and programmability are also needed to rapidly respond to an increasingly dynamic service environment. The Cisco Network Convergence System 1002 (NCS 1002) delivers all this and more. It uses Cisco nLight Silicon to combine multimodulation capability with soft-decision Forward Error Correction (SD FEC) to flexibly trade off transmission rate versus reach for maximum optical performance, giving up to 2Tbps in just 2RU.

Cisco helps service providers capture the digitization opportunity with cloud scale software and hardware innovations that deliver unprecedented automation, visibility and control, and software modularity.

Product Features and Benefits

The Cisco NCS 1002 (Figure 1) is mechanically optimized for controlled operational environments. At 2 RU, the system supports up to 2Tbps of client and 2Tbps of trunk traffic.

The system uses a Linux kernel with the 64 bit IOS XR OS in a Linux Container (LxC) and admin plane operating in a separate LxC. It encompasses carrier-class software with a number of features such as machine-to-machine APIs based on YANG data models, streaming telemetry agent for real time, granular device monitoring and also an infrastructure for 3^rdparty applications. The solution supports smart licensing for flexible pay as grow models.

The NCS 1002 has 2 redundant and field replaceable AC & DC power supply units and 3 redundant and field replaceable fans. It also provides field replaceable controller and SSD disk. See Figure 1. Each NCS 1002 unit provides 20 QSFP based clients and 8 CFP2-ACO based DWDM trunk ports.

The trunk ports are capable of two modulation formats and three data rates:rt is software-configurable per slice.
