Choosing the Cisco A9K-40GE-E line card results in a network poised for robust growth and dynamic service delivery, suiting service providers aiming to expand their infrastructure. It’s a significant investment for Carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS networks, offering high-density connectivity with its 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports supported by a substantial queue depth. This ensures the network can handle increased traffic volumes with consistent reliability, crucial in today’s data-driven environment.
Investment security is another key advantage. The line card’s compatibility with Cisco’s ASR 9000 Series routers means it integrates into an ecosystem known for longevity and cutting-edge technology. Future-proofing networks are critical, and Cisco’s commitment to updates and support guarantees relevance over extended periods.
Efficiency in power consumption is an additional benefit, as the card operates within a typical power range of 310W to 565W, ensuring a balance between performance and operational costs. Operational excellence is further achieved with the card’s support for a range of Ethernet speeds, from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps, making it versatile for various applications and service offerings.
Furthermore, the card’s capability to handle high-volume, high-speed traffic is essential for providers offering services like HD video streaming, cloud computing, and large-scale virtualization, where bandwidth and service quality cannot be compromised. It ensures customer satisfaction and loyalty, translating to sustained revenue growth.
In summary, investing in the A9K-40GE-E line card is a forward-thinking step that equips networks with the necessary tools to compete and excel in the evolving digital landscape.
The Cisco® ASR 9000 Series Ethernet Line Cards are the latest generation of service-provider-focused Carrier Ethernet line cards from Cisco. These line cards deliver economical, scalable, highly available, line-rate Ethernet and IP/Multiprotocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS) edge services. The Cisco ASR 9000 Series Line Cards A9K-40GE-E and other Cisco ASR 9000 Series platform components are designed to provide the fundamental infrastructure for scalable Carrier Ethernet and IP/MPLS networks, supporting profitable business, residential, and mobile services.
