With Cisco forecasting 30 billion connected devices by 2023, service providers must be prepared for an onslaught of network traffic that will ride the tide of this IoT- and 5G-enabled tsunami. 

Cisco’s recently announced Network Convergence System (NCS) 5700 is poised to help them do exactly that – delivering high-density 400 gigabit Ethernet (GE) line cards that can run inside customers’ existing 5500 series chassis!

In Cisco NCS 5700: Massive scale for the 5500, ExplaiNerds Podcast host Robb Boyd sits down with Cisco’s Mass Scale Infrastructure Group to learn more about this new Jericho2-based platform and how the team managed such a major leap forward in capacity, speed, and efficiency, while still remaining backward-compatible with the entire portfolio of 5500 series products.
