Edge and access integrated as one network virtualized (nV) system. That's what you get with the Cisco ASR 9000v-V2, which uses the Cisco ASR 9000 Series nV technology to integrate access and edge functions. The Cisco ASR 9000v-V2 operate as an extension shelf of the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, providing delivery of Cisco ASR 9000 Series services from the Cisco ASR 9000v-V2. Using nV technology lets you dramatically reduce your operational costs by simplifying the access and edge network and by delivering tremendous service and network scale through the use of the Cisco ASR 9000 distributed control plane, which extends feature processing to the access layer.
