The Cisco ASR 9000 Series is an operationally simple future-optimized platform using next-generation hardware and software. The following are highlights of this next-generation platform.

• The Cisco ASR 9000 System brings increased power and simplicity to the edge and the ASR 9000v sets the industry benchmark as a virtualized compact carrier-class converged access and aggregation platform. Leveraging Cisco's "network virtualization" or nV Technology the Cisco ASR 9000 System offers exceptional pay as you grow scale carrier-class reliability and simplified service provisioning.

• Cisco IOS XR modular operating system: The Cisco ASR 9000 Series uses the Cisco IOS XR operating system made famous by the highly successful Cisco CRS Carrier Routing System platform in core deployments. Cisco IOS XR operating system is purpose-built for distributed systems such as the Cisco ASR 9000 Series and uses a microkernel architecture to achieve true modularity. This modularity provides the path to nonstop operations during software image upgrades or module changes without affecting normal platform operations.
