Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers
In a world driven by data, your network can't afford to be a bottleneck. The demand for bandwidth, speed, and always-on connectivity is relentless, especially for service providers and large enterprises in the UAE and across the globe. You need a platform that not only meets today's demands but is engineered to handle the explosive growth of tomorrow.
Enter the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers. This isn't just another router; it's a high-performance, massively scalable foundation for your most critical network services. From the edge to the core, the ASR 9000 series delivers unparalleled capacity, embedded security, and intelligent automation, ensuring your network evolves from a business cost into a strategic, revenue-generating asset.
The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is built from the ground up to address the challenges of modern networking. At its heart lies a custom-designed ASIC, a powerhouse of innovation that provides exceptional performance while dramatically reducing power consumption—by up to 96% per Gbps. This commitment to sustainable, efficient design means you can scale your network capacity without scaling your operational costs or environmental footprint.
Running on the modern and robust Cisco IOS XR network operating system, the ASR 9000 delivers carrier-grade reliability and a simplified, trustworthy operational experience. Security is not an afterthought; it's integrated into the hardware with features like Secure Boot and the Cisco Trust Anchor, protecting your platform's integrity from the moment it powers on. With a flexible pay-as-you-grow licensing model, you can invest in the capacity you need today and seamlessly scale for the future, simplifying planning and maximizing your ROI.
Choosing the right hardware is only the first step.

Contact the NEXUS ITX team, and our Cisco-certified engineers will help you select the perfect model for your requirements and budget.
Q: How does the 'pay-as-you-grow' licensing benefit my business?
A: This flexible licensing model allows you to purchase the capacity and features you need today, with the ability to activate additional capacity or features later through a simple software license. This minimizes your initial capital expenditure (CapEx) and allows you to scale your investment precisely as your customer demand and traffic grows, ensuring a much faster return on investment.
Q: Can NEXUS ITX assist with migrating from our existing routers to the ASR 9000?
A: Absolutely. Migration and deployment are core strengths of NEXUS ITX. Our professional services team specializes in planning and executing complex network migrations with minimal disruption to your live services.
