Overall Satisfaction with Cisco 5000 Series Enterprise Network Compute System (ENCS 5000)

We have used it as an ISR router or a virtual ASA firewall. Provides great flexibility and is very easy to administer. Cisco teams are flexible and easy to manage.No less data is that with this line it is possible to reduce the amount of equipment per headquarters since, as previously mentioned, different equipment can be virtualized, which allows us to save space and costs.
  • Virtualizing routers.
  • Less power required compared to physical hardware.
  • High performance.
  • Configuration options
  • An improvement point would be to correct the large number of bugs that were presented in the older versions, although in the new versions there is an improvement in this aspect.
  • Footprint.
  • Its interface is very friendly.
  • It allows the VNF certification of other vendors, thus guaranteeing compatibility and interoperability.
  • High availability.
  • Reduces rack unit space.
  • Made it easier for the logistics company to send hardware.
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.

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.
