The Cisco Catalyst 8200 Series Edge uCPE (Universal Customer Premises Equipment) is designed for branch virtualization, allowing consolidation of network and security functions, simplified network management, and fewer truck rolls for delivery of add-on services.
Cisco® Catalyst® 8200 Series Edge uCPE is the next generation of the Cisco Enterprise Network Compute System (ENCS) 5100 Series. The platform is foundational for branch virtualization, combining routing, switching, and application hosting into a compact, One Rack-Unit (1RU) device for the small and lean virtualized branch. Cisco provides an end-to-end virtualization solution with Cisco’s own hypervisor Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure Software (NFVIS), Routing Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), and multiple orchestration choices.
With eight x86 CPU cores with hardware acceleration for IPsec crypto traffic, the Catalyst 8200 uCPE enables branches to run multiple VNFs. Along with a higher number of WAN ports, the platform includes one Network Interface Module (NIM) slot for additional WAN and LAN modules as well as a Pluggable Interface Module (PIM) slot for wireless WAN modules for LTE Advanced and LTE Advanced Pro capabilities. With support for the Cisco Managed Services Accelerator (MSX), Network Services Orchestrator (NSO), and vManage, the platform simplifies network and NFV management and orchestration for both SD-WAN and traditional deployments.
