Cisco CRS 8-Slot Single-Shelf System Enhanced

The Cisco® Carrier Routing System (CRS) offers industry-leading performance, advanced services intelligence, environmentally conscious design, and system longevity. The Cisco CRS is powered by the Cisco QuantumFlow ArrayTM, a chipset architecture based on multidimensional engineering and Cisco IOS® XR Software, a unique self-healing, distributed operating system.Packet-based data communications are being replaced by video and interactive multimedia traversing the IP Next- Generation Network (NGN) in multiple directions, straining the architectural foundations of both public and private networks serving businesses and consumers. As part of the medianet, a media-aware Cisco IP NGN, the Cisco CRS delivers continuous, always-on operations and scales easily from numerous single-chassis form factors to a massive multichassis system. Its design provides an industry-leading efficiency, consuming very low power, cooling and rack-space resources for an intelligent and comprehensive service bandwidth capacity.
