Overall Satisfaction with Cisco 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers (ASR 9000)
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.
- The [Cisco 9000 Series Aggregation Services] Routers have been very reliable over the past 4 years.
- [The] ability to run VRF and segment multiple networks on the same fiber.
- When we implemented our Cisco UC system, we were not able to use the routers for voice gateways. We had to purchase ISR routers for this function.
- [The] inability of the ASR family for voice services did negatively affect their value.
The Cisco routers provide a similar administrative interface with the rest of our Cisco network hardware. This reduced staff training to support the hardware.
