1) The document compares the total cost of ownership (TCO) of Cisco's network virtualization solution versus a competing routing solution over a 5-year period.
2) It models the build-out of a typical aggregation network serving thousands of households, projecting traffic growth and configuring the network elements.
3) The modeling process calculates capital and operating expenditures to determine the TCO of each solution and compare key financial metrics.

12. A Business Case for Scaling the Next Generation Internet with the
Cisco ASR 9000 System
Cisco ASR 9000 System achieves
dramatically reduced TCO through its
network virtualization (nV) technology
CapEx is reduced due to high port
densities and more card slots per
Available for download: chassis
http://blogs.cisco.com The ASR 9000 Systems network
virtualization design simplifies network
& operations and reduces operations
expense (OpEx).
http://www.acgresearch.net
TCO is reduced by up to 73% over
And search for competitive solutions that lack nV
technology.
ACG Business Case for Next- The payback on the investment in a
Generation Internet complete ASR 9000 System is less
than one year.

13. Ciscos UCE&MB architectural
approach for mixed access solutions
(Mobile, Fixed, T1, Ethernet) is up to
37% lower TCO than competition
Ciscos solution has the lowest
CAPEX due to high port density,
scalability, and unified access for
mobile, fixed, T1, and Ethernet up to
36% lower CAPEX than competitors
Ciscos innovation provides significant
OPEX reductions:
Cisco nV contributes to lower OPEX by up
to 59%
Ciscos solution has the lowest power
consumption - up to 38% lower than
competition
