	Cisco 5000 Series Network Convergence System (NCS 5000)
Likelihood to Recommend	Cisco The best scenario for us was to use the NCS 5000 for video conferencing. With several remote branches, we required reliable bandwidth for remotely connecting with employees. The NCS 5000 delivered the bandwidth we needed and provided the quality even with some low bandwidth sites. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Cisco Higher port density allows for both higher bandwidth ports to the customer network as well as sufficient uplink capacity to the core. Small rack space, smarter design, smaller footprint allows for more hardware the fit in the same amount of rack space. Lower power consumption, less heat output results in savings within the data center environment. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
