The Yankee GroupCisco Systems CEO John Chambers for more than a year has been preaching that the seemingly insatiable demand for network bandwidth will only grow as video, mobile devices and cloud computing become more prominent. Chambers reiterated that when unveiling
Cisco's massive new CRS 3 , a router that promises a capacity of 322 terabits per second, that can support IPv6 traffic, and that supports other
Cisco data center and cloud computing solutions like its UCS (Unified Computing System) and Nexus portfolio of switches. Developed over three years at a cost of $1.6 billion, it's a product that is ready to take on the soon to be bandwidth demands of the average business and the average consumer, with their video communications and rapidly increasing use of mobile devices as their primary Internet device, he said. Industry analysts agreed, noting that six years ago, when
Cisco unveiled its CRS 1, few thought bandwidth demand would reach the point where 92Tbps capacity was needed.
However, as Yankee Group analyst Zeus Kerravala said, Cisco has shipped almost 5,000 CRS 1 routers during those six years.
