(NEW) Cisco Aggregation Services Routers 1000 Series - ASR1006-10G-HA/K9

Overview

The Cisco ASR1006-10G-HA/K9 is a high-performance, scalable router from the Cisco ASR 1000 Series designed for large enterprises and service providers. It is optimized for WAN aggregation, secure VPN services, and advanced routing, providing up to 10 Gbps of throughput. The "HA" in its name signifies High Availability, meaning it includes redundant components such as Route Processors (RP) and Embedded Service Processors (ESP) to ensure continuous uptime and network reliability. This makes it ideal for mission-critical environments requiring always-on operation.
