Compact Multi-Service
Carrier Ethernet Router Series
Service providers, more than ever, are
looking for ways to reduce network
operational costs while increasing new
revenue streams through over-the-top
services. Brocade® NetIron® CER 2000
Series routers are purpose-built to help
these providers save on space, power,
and cooling while extending wire-speed IP
and Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)
services to the network edge without
compromising performance.
The NetIron CER 2000 is available in
24- and 48-port 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE)
copper and hybrid fiber configurations with
two optional 10 GbE uplink ports. To help
ensure high performance, all the ports are
capable of forwarding IP and MPLS packets
at wire speed without oversubscription.
With less than 5 watts/Gbps of power
consumption, service providers can push up
to 136 Gbps of triple-play services through
the NetIron CER 2000 while reducing their
carbon footprint.
A broad set of highly scalable IP unicast
and multicast routing features, combined
with a low total cost of ownership, makes
the NetIron CER 2000 an ideal choice
for service providers that want to deliver
Layer 2 and Layer 3 business services
through a single easy-to-manage platform.
