Overall Satisfaction with Cisco 5000 Series Enterprise Network Compute System (ENCS 5000)
VIrtualizing routers and firewalls, just like VMWare for servers. A significantly smaller footprint in our network cabinets. We now have much less equipment to ship to our remote sites. This makes it extremely easy to spawn a new virtual network device, like a virtual ISR router or a virtual ASA firewall.
- Smaller footprint
- Less cooling required compared to physical hardware
- Easy to allocate more compute resources to virtual guests if required.
- Less power required compared to physical hardware
- Earlier software versions (3.x) have had many bugs
- Templates have not been working until 4.x
- The largest model 5412 could use a hardware refresh like all the smaller versions just had.
- Footprint
- Power consumption
- Easy User Interface
- 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.
