Cisco 5000 Series Enterprise Network Compute System (ENCS 5000) vs. HPE Enterprise Routers

It seems to me that it is a piece of equipment totally suitable for virtualization, it works perfectly either as an ISR or as an ASA Firewall. This 5000 series of equipment is a platform that is specifically designed and oriented to run VNF. This saves time and at the same time allows us to simplify operations.

HPE routers are best suited for the mid-sized enterprises, they have proven ability to cope up the LAN traffic, as well as traffic runs between two different sites, by using the MPLS or VPLS circuits. In our environment, we are keeping the HPE routers at the edge of the network connected with the firewall on the backend which segregates the inside and outside traffic. We are running the BGP protocol to load balance the inbound and outbound traffic coming from different admin routers.

It is used due to its great adaptability in large networks since it allows you to use different technologies, which is a very important factor since you save physical space but also allow you to continue enjoying the services.

HPE routers performs upto the mark, it basically provides the connectivity to external and internal networks, however sometime the crashes happen in the routers make them look bad. Overall, I am satisfied with the product they use most open-source stuff which makes them easily interoperable with other router vendors as well.
