Since we've been using it for a long time, that justifies and explains to you that this product is a sound product and is secure. The product has great support after-sales support services from Cisco. So the moment we have an issue that we cannot resolve ourselves, it is so easy to contact the Cisco engineers. They are around the clock, they are ready to support and resolve issues, and technical issues, and also for upgrades of our networks to ensure that we have the latest patches and latest operating systems that will help us defend or secure our network better. We are very happy with the level of support we are getting currently from Cisco and I don't think we are going anywhere else other than Cisco. We are happy with the way it is currently.

Nokia 7750 Service Routers (SR) are good as a core switch and brings in value for money, with its high capacity switching and routing. It is suited as the best MPLS switch and has been a popular choice for L3 routing too by many SP. It is not good for distribution and access.

  • I think now that we are moving into cloud migrations and cloud services, I think now the new routers that are coming out are cloud-friendly so to speak, and also can provide us with a higher level of security because of the continuous threats that we are receiving from different type of actors around the world. So security is also critical for cloud migration.

We have both Nokia 7750 and Cisco ASR 9000 in our network. The main advantage of the Nokia 7750 is its compatibility with the SAM element manager and users easily can configure using SAM. This feature is not found on ASR9k. Cisco is good for L3 routing especially BGP functionalities and peering.
