The 7950 Extensible Routing System (XRS) portfolio is a suite of powerful core routing platforms that delivers unmatched scale, efficiency and versatility without compromising flexibility. The portfolio revolutionizes the economics of delivering the Internet by offering 5 times the density of existing alternatives while consuming only one-third the electricity. With up to 80 100GigE ports in a single rack the 7950 XRS shatters current density norms.

This unrivaled density and superior efficiency enables service providers to expand core network capacity for video, cloud-based applications and immersive multimedia delivered across an array of devices, while simultaneously reducing the cost of precious assets like space and power.

On only one platform service providers can meet all core routing, MPLS switching, data center interconnection and infrastructure service needs in metro cores and IP backbones for years to come – with maximum efficiency and lowest TCO.

Benefits & Features

Provides operational cost savings

  • Over a five-year horizon of network growth, service providers can save more than 50% of their space and power costs.
  • Breakthrough 400G Network Processing Unit (NPU) silicon and a superior system design to deliver core routing and switching capacity using one-fifth the space and one-third the power of traditional platforms
  • Perfect geometry for 10G, 40G, and 100G ports, as well as 400G ports in the future.
  • Precludes the need for premature and expensive upgrades to multichassis infrastructure that wreak havoc on space and power budgets without delivering matching value

Eliminates compromise and maximizes investment

  • Converges on a single platform to meet the needs of Internet transport, peering, metro core and data center interconnection applications
  • Eliminates the cost and operational complexity that result from the deployment of single-purpose devices
  • Enables capabilities as required through a pay-as-you-go software licensing model
  • De-risks core network evolution as fresh applications are unlocked in the cloud and new requirements emerge for the metro core

Relies on proven innovation

  • Built on the robust Service Router Operating System (SR OS), which has nearly a decade of proven reliability with over 450 service providers worldwide
  • Leverages the industry's first and only 400G chipset (FP3), the pinnacle of three successive generations of groundbreaking NPU silicon innovation
  • Supported by a comprehensive network management suite to dramatically lower operational complexity and deployment risks while providing an immediate boost to the IP core

Be ready for the future

  • Anticipate the needs of the evolving service provider core network with unprecedented scale for 100GigE ports, hardware readiness for 400GigE, and 2 Tb/s slot capacity built into the platform
