Interpretation of the Cisco CRS-3: Response Network dual pressures of the market

Since last month, Cisco announced the launch of the product has been completely change the Internet, the industry has been waiting for. No one doubts that the world's largest network equipment manufacturer's creativity and ability, and no doubt the godfather of Chambers of Cisco's strategic vision.

Today, the Cisco Internet officially announced the launch of a major field of innovative products - the new Cisco Carrier Routing System (CiscoCRS-3). Designed to lead the next generation of Internet infrastructure for the next decade, the Internet video, mobile, and other new business areas to provide rapid development of the fundamental guarantee. Cisco is uncommon in the pass is issued words of praise.

Of course, Cisco and the competitors are also not forget to compare, in addition to using the new switch fabric and line cards, to achieve a smooth upgrade, the effective protection of investments outside of the historical operators. CRS-3 of the traffic handling capacity of its nearest competitor is 12 times higher than its design goal is to accelerate the realization of the Internet end-users a compelling new experience, for telecom operators to bring new revenue opportunities to implementation of broadband communications and entertainment industry restructuring.

Cisco this product really do have such a magical, it can really prop up Cisco unified computing strategy for the future do, it can Cisco's carrier-class in the global markets including China, What?

triple play network pressure: Cisco introduced the CRS-3

In Cisco's view, CRS-3 launch can be described as is just about right, not only have to change the magic of the Internet, but also with real market demand .

Along with a variety of wide-screen popularity of triple play services, telecom operators have begun to face great pressure on the network. The United States, iPhone (mobile internet) operator AT & T, for example, in the fast-growing high-ARPU values behind the increasing pressure on the network, so that in the New York State, appeared in a rapid decline in call termination rates, which also caused dissatisfaction with Apple . Apple Chief Operating Officer had publicly accused the AT & T in the network building dereliction of duty.

Of course, AT & T in the current network to test a new Cisco Carrier Routing System CRS-3, and successfully completed the world's first 100Gbps backbone network technology testing. The test is the AT & T from New Orleans to Miami, carried out between the network, the test results directly to promote the AT & T next-generation backbone network technologies used to meet the growing number of high-end business capabilities, and at the same time meet the AT & T public users and commercial customers (including fixed and mobile customers) business needs.

However, some analysts believe that propaganda exaggeration. MorganKeegan communications analyst Simon Leopold out that while the new equipment can be partially alleviate the congestion of the network to address the smart phone services where there is a bottleneck problem, but a statement of the technology hype; does the new technology has brought great hope and great opportunities, but he thinks investors in the short-term effects of some of the publicity over-confident.

Cisco's stock price changes can be seen as the best proof: investors something to look forward to the Tuesday's statement, Monday Cisco's shares rose 4%. But Tuesday, after the product release, the stock actually fell by 0.5%.

Huawei-style response to the impact of the maintenance of routing high-end market

there are on condition of anonymity in the industry have pointed out that Cisco introduced at this time, CSR-3, the intention is to consolidate its declining carrier-class router market position. It is undeniable that the boss of Cisco or the market, but this advantage is declining.

According to InfoneticsResearch latest research report shows that carrier-class IP edge routers, IP core routers and carrier-class Ethernet switches, multiservice ATM switches, the fourth quarter of global income in 2009 rose 17% in 2009 compared with 2008 overall down 12%, of 111 billion dollars. Cisco and Juniper routers are still firmly controlled by the pre-market carrier-grade, two top spot, but the two companies market share in 2009 from 69% in 2008 down to 59%.

with their rapid decline compared to the Huawei and Tellabs as the representative of the emerging forces are speeding up. The source pointed out that in carrier-class edge routing market, their products and marketing strategies are very flexible, to occupy a lot of market share, which is the formation of a certain impact on the traditional vendors, and they are also the core router market to the high-end challenge.

The source also pointed out that with the further development of FMC, carrier-class routing will continue to further develop the market, Cisco is clearly a rainy day.

consulting firm BDA Fang Meiqin In an interview with the Deputy Director IDCUN (www.idcun, com) an interview said that in carrier-class routing market, the price is operators choose an important basis for the procurement, but not the most critical. And wireless devices such as a high degree of maturity of the product compared to the router is not competition in the market is particularly fierce, especially in the core router market. The existing network architecture also determines the value of the core routing, performance is operator preference.

China market high-end industry market

Cisco news release issued, and did not disclose the price of this product up to 9 million U.S. dollars when sold in China , but presumably will not be too late. Asia-Pacific region is only in the IP edge and core routers, increased by 19% in the size of the area, due to the reasons for a significant portion of China's telecom industry restructuring and ultra-scale networks.

The industry pointed out that Cisco's carrier-class routing in China's market, the gait seemed a bit slow, and more vulnerable to competitors price shock. Enterprise Network Services is the strength of Cisco's China, many high-end industrial customers on the network requirements, even higher than the demand for telecom operators, which is the focus of future competition.

In 2010, technology trends forecast, IDC, Gartenr research companies are invariably cloud computing will be listed in the first place, in which the private cloud is a hot topic. I believe Cisco introduced the Cisco CRS-3 will be the UCS strategy an important part.
