About This Product

Overview

Based on the Cisco Global Cloud Index, digitalization is projected to grow global data center and public/private cloud network traffic more than 25 percent annually, resulting in a threefold increase by 2019. To help network providers meet these challenges, the Cisco®Network Convergence System 5500 Series is built with features such as extremely high port densities, deep packet buffering, and forwarding hardware optimized for these types of deployments.

The Cisco NCS 5500 Series modular chassis provides a wide variety of line cards to address customer needs using flexible interfaces and port densities, along with full bandwidth utilization of the forwarding ASIC.

The Cisco NC55-32T16Q4H line card (Figure 1) provides a mix of 1/10G, 10/25G, and 40/100G to optimally support aggregation applications as needed for example in the mobile backhaul market.
