Cisco 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers (ASR 9000)

We use them for internet peering and for service aggregation in our carrier Ethernet platform. They serve well in terms of stability, service richness and performance when connecting to several IP-Transit provider. The possibilities when creating complex routing-policies are far beyond the route-maps we had with IOS-XE in the past. The use for service aggregation in our carrier Ethernet platform has a much more scale than NCS router can provide.

We use the ASR 9001 in our core MPLS network as a Provider edge equipment. It address our issues of resource and scalability. As it is modular and powerful. Prior to the Cisco 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, we had ASR 1002 and 1001 in our backbone. However, as we scaled, we moved to the Cisco 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers and since we got them we haven't had to refresh them in a bit since they are modular and packed with power.

The ASR 9000 is used in the network as PEs, core routers, and internet gateways. In 2025, route reflectors will be migrated from ASRS 1000 to ASR 9000.

Provided a low cost solution for access connections and effectively reduced capex requirements for 1G connections.

We use the Cisco 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, 9901 as an access edge device. It on boards customer circuits in the Data Centre and forwards customer traffic via BGP to our core, or EVPN to another endpoint as an EPL or EVPL circuit.

We use it as a Layer 3 Aggregation Point for Internet Subscribers from various locations throughout every state in Australia.

We use it for our IP backbone and we especially do the exploitation of this product.

We have placed this unit at the top of our network. It does the routing for nearly all of our sites, which are layer 2. It provides 10 GB connectivity to all of our WAN links as well. It handles local workstations at our site in addition to being the aggregator or core to our district. All of our primary services are connected to this switch, all wireless appliances (Cisco) as well as our Virtual services and storage.

Cisco ASR9000 Series is used in one of our customer environments. The customer has multiple branch offices and they use it for routing and EVPN purposes. The router provides the customer flexibility to increase the line cards as per their requirement which is suitable for their business requirement. Before the customer was using the modular types of routers which was difficult to manage and in the classic licensing model customer suppose to install different types of licenses to get the features enabled. ASR 9000 has fulfilled the customer's need by bringing a smart licensing model which helped the customer to install the license in a smart account. Which doesn't require any downtime to install any license. The customer was having old devices which can support up to 1G of speed but with the new series of gateways which supports up to 40G of support. The new launch of different sizes of chassis helped a lot to fit in the business need based on the location and easy to manage. Also the launch of the new iOS version which is having the features like automation so that we can manage the device using the Yang scripts to do the configuration. Helped a lot in the integration of SDN service.

The Cisco 9000 series platform has been a big part of our organization since its release. It provides 'next-gen' functionality throughout our network distribution layer, providing MEF services to our customers. The Cisco 9000 series' modular design creates a flexible model for large network expansion, increased bandwidths, and aggregation of our services.

ASR 9000 is used as our core routing solution, basically used as a fully functional core router on the network it handles large amounts of traffic going through it and can be easily expanded as demand grows. It is very versatile and can function as an edge router, PE, P, etc.

It is basically used as a fully functional core router on the network. It has the capability to handle the amount of traffic going through it and is easily expandable as demand grows. In addition, due to its versatility, it is also being considered as a potential edge router for future expansion.

The ASR 9000 is used as our core routing solution. Here, it works as a BRASS, Building L2vpn, [and] L3vpn for customers [and] also as a border gateway router. All our services [are] connected to the ASR 9000 as our mobile platform for our corporate LAN and VOIP services. We also have directly connected distribution switches.

In our company, the [Cisco] 9000 [Series Aggregation Services] Routers are used as [the] core routers in the network.

We use this to carry out our core of services. We use them for data transfers, VoIP, and video communication.

We are using it for core and peering routers due to the insane FIB storage available compared to the Nexus 7Ks they replaced. We were not using any platform-specific features so when hardware refresh time came up and the options were [the] N7700 or [the] A9900. It seemed to be a no-brainer based on the capability in terms of both hardware and software and side-by-side cost comparison. Is a 9900 overkill for a standard IP core? Definitely, but we were looking to maintain a full table and not have to worry about FIB limitations.

The [Cisco] 9000 [Series Aggregation Services Routers are] being used as a 1 gig and 10 gig aggregation. It supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 as well as some complex MPLS applications that we require. It also does a great job with multicast routing.

We use Cisco [9000 Series Aggregation Services] Routers within our DC as well as between different DCs. They are used as core routers for inside services and WAN routers on our MPLS and towards third-party WAN routers. We have installed those to multiple different production networks and most of the routers are used by multiple customers.

We use Cisco Routers within our department for a service provider core network. Using primarily the Cisco 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, we are able to provide solutions for whatever our partner companies' needs are.

Our organization uses both ISR models and Cisco 9000 Series [Aggregation Services] Routers to manage traffic across endpoints. These allow our network to be configured with an active-passive failsafe (primary/secondary) to support our high performance and high availability needs across various components of our business-critical infrastructure. The [Cisco 9000] Series [Aggregation Services] Routers are also used in our global data centers.

This was used primarily for internal routing [for] support of up to 500 users.

We are using the [Cisco 9000 Series Aggregation Services] Routers to build our multi-state 10G ringed wide area network using our own fiber network.
