4 Session Abstract The Network Convergence System 5500 (NCS 5500) Series offers industry-leading density of routed 100-GE ports for high-scale WAN aggregation. The NCS 5500 Series is designed to efficiently scale between data centers and large enterprise, web, and service provider WAN and aggregation networks. The NCS 5500 is part of the Cisco's SP router portfolio family. The platform runs on IOS XR 64bit Linux which brings a lot of software innovation in areas such Containerization, 3rd party apps hosting & automation capabilities. NCS 5500 is being adopted by many customers around the world for many different variety of applications. In this session, the audience will learn about how they can utilize the NCS 5500 series to effectively design and implement highly dense, scalable and Software Defined Networking (SDN) ready WAN, & SPDC Fabric & Spine networks. The session will go over various design options with details on use cases and applications where NCS 5500 would be best suited Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 4
