Cisco Enterprise Network Compute System 5408 - virtualization appliance

The Cisco 5400 Enterprise Network Compute System (ENCS) is a line of compute appliances designed for the Cisco Enterprise Network Functions Virtualization (ENFV) solution. It delivers a standard of software-defined flexibility and performance, and offers a low total cost of ownership (TCO). The 5400 ENCS is a hybrid platform that combines the best attributes of a traditional router and a traditional server, and offers the same functionality with a smaller infrastructure footprint. Offered with the Cisco Integrated Services Virtual Router (ISRv) and NFV Infrastructure Software as the hosting layer, the platform offers a complete solution for a simplified deployment. It also accelerates some functions in hardware such as inter-VM traffic flows, IP Security (IPsec) crypto, and RAID for storage. Built-in lights-out management is also supported with Cisco Integrated Management Controller.
