Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Routers (CGR 1000) vs. Cisco 5000 Series Enterprise Network Compute System (ENCS 5000)

This tool is suitable for smart grid environments where remote monitoring and control is required, and arguably it may be a little less appropriate for organizations with limited resources for initial implementation and configuration. But in general it can help improve the efficiency of the electrical grid. Its advanced security, scalability and analytical capabilities distinguish it from other similar programs.

It seems to me that it is a piece of equipment totally suitable for virtualization, it works perfectly either as an ISR or as an ASA Firewall. This 5000 series of equipment is a platform that is specifically designed and oriented to run VNF. This saves time and at the same time allows us to simplify operations.

Cisco and HPE Routers are comparable products. Both do the job well without many differences. I would say HP Routers are easier to configure but come with a small performance hit compared to Cisco routers of the same size/scope. Cisco has the brand recognition and many more certified professionals using them though.

It is used due to its great adaptability in large networks since it allows you to use different technologies, which is a very important factor since you save physical space but also allow you to continue enjoying the services.

Incentivized

• Improvement in operational efficiency
• Reduced downtime
• Greater reliability in the electrical network

• Saving on cabinet space due to smaller footprint
• Easier to ship and handle than physical hardware
• Princing is very similar to the combined price of what it replaces.
