Cisco has delivered the following technologies in this landmark deployment:
Telefonica Global Solutions, part of the Telefonica Group, has selected Cisco for its enhanced IP NGN. Integral to supporting this Internet growth will be the deployment of the Cisco CRS-3 core routing platform and ASR 9000 Series routers for enhanced capacity, high resiliency, and robust IPv6 support.
Telefonica's network connects more than 100 locations in more than 60 cities and 40 countries connecting the main cities of Europe, Latin America, the United States and Asia.
With more than 8,000 systems deployed and nearly 1,000 multi-chassis configurations, the Cisco CRS is the industry's most robust, scalable, widely deployed multi-chassis core router. Cisco's new elastic core solution capabilities allow it to seamlessly add a second chassis without the space and cost of a separate fabric chassis.
