Bright House Networks Deploys Cisco Network Convergence System to
Offer Cloud-Based Business and Residential Services
Cisco Evolved Programmable Network (EPN) Empowers Bright House
Networks to More Efficiently Deliver New Hosted and Managed
Carrier-Class Services
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 17, 2014) - Cisco (NASDAQ:
CSCO) announced today that Bright House Networks, the
sixth-largest owner and operator of cable systems in the United
States, has deployed the Cisco® Network Convergence System (NCS), a
network fabric family designed to serve as the foundation of a
massively scalable, smarter and more adaptable Internet. The Cisco
NCS enables Bright House Networks to offer cloud-based, managed
services for businesses, such as hosted voice, call center,
application and infrastructure-as-a-service. The Cisco NCS also
allows Bright House Networks to offer managed security, network
transport, Wi-Fi and traditional voice and data services to
business customers.
Bright House Networks is deploying the Cisco NCS 6000, which
offers the industry's first 1 terabits per second (Tbps) line card
with the capability of transporting up to 5 Tbps per slot and a
total system capacity of 1.2 petabits per second (Pbps) in a
multi-chassis configuration to support a converged Internet
Protocol (IP) and optical environment.
The Cisco NCS 6000 is a key element within a Cisco Evolved
Programmable Network and delivers programmability and
virtualization capabilities that enable Bright House Networks to
accommodate growing network traffic and seize the opportunity
created by trillions of programmable device-driven events and
generated by the Internet of Everything (IoE), the networked
connection of people, data, processes and things.
Key Facts/Highlights
- The Cisco NCS 6000 works together with industry-leading Cisco
Carrier Routing System (CRS) and Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation
Services Routers to act as a foundational network fabric to
interconnect Bright House Networks' architecture and deliver them
the following benefits:
- Scale: The industry's only system built for petabyte scale,
capable of supporting trillions of events across a connected
network fabric.
- Agility: The industry's first carrier-grade, programmable
convergence system designed for advanced virtualization
capabilities. The Cisco 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.
- Efficiencies: When deployed as part of the Cisco Open
Networking Environment (ONE) service provider architecture, which
embraces and extends software-defined networking (SDN) and network
functions virtualization (NFV) as part of an Cisco Evolved Services
Platform, the Cisco NCS family can help service providers reduce
total cost of ownership by as much as 45 percent while consuming up
to 60 percent less power.
- Cisco NCS is widely deployed in cable broadband access,
mobile, Wi-Fi and fixed networks, giving service providers
such as Bright House Networks the flexibility to control,
monetize and personalize the type of products and
services they choose on any type of network.
- With global IP traffic projected to increase threefold
over the next five years -- after having increased eightfold
over the past five years -- evolved programmable and
virtualized network creation has never been more vital for
service providers.
- Bright House Networks is also the first cable operator in the
United States to achieve the Cisco Master Service Provider
Certification under the Cisco Cloud and Managed Service Program.
This certification, earned through a rigorous third-party audit
process, recognizes Bright House Networks Enterprise Solutions as
having the capabilities to sell and deliver cloud and managed
service to help accelerate their time-to-market and
time-to-revenue.
