Cisco’s NCS powers Internet of Everything

Cisco has said that it’s Network Convergence System (NCS), a network fabric family designed to serve as the foundation of a massively-scalable, smarter and more adaptable Internet.

The General Manager (GM) Cisco Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia and Sierra-Leone, Mr. Dare Ogunlade, informed DigitalSENSE Business News that Cisco NCS powers ‘Internet of Everything’ which delivers breakthrough Internet capabilities for leading global service providers.

According to him, several leading global service providers are already deploying the Cisco NCS to create new revenue streams, simplify operations and deliver exciting new custom experiences to their customers.

The NCS’s industry-leading capabilities, he said, has shown it facilitates growing network traffic but also seize the opportunity created by trillions of programmable device-driven events predicted to come online in the coming years.  These events, created via the networked connection of people, data, processes and things and known as The Internet of Everything (IoE), create triggers requiring actions or reactions from various policy, control and information processing functions across networks and data centers. 

Ogunlade says the NCS family, has over 100 patents, and joins the industry-leading Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS) and Aggregation Services Router (ASR) families and acts as a foundational network fabric to interconnect the architecture, delivering benefits.

These include scalability which means a system capable of supporting trillions of events across a connected fabric.  The NCS will be able to transport the entire NetFlix library in less than one second.

Industry’s first carrier-grade, he said, is programmable convergence system designed for advanced virtualization capabilities. 

“The NCS extends, connects, controls and responds to applications, networks and data centers by managing and moving network and compute resources wherever and whenever they are needed across the architecture, in real time,” he said.

On efficiencies, he says adopts when deployed as part of the Cisco ONE Service Provider Architecture, the Cisco NCS family can help network operators reduce total cost of ownership by 45 percent while consuming 60 percent less power.
