Cisco 6000 Series Network Convergence System (NCS 6000) Review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Well, in our infrastructures we have to be connected to a lot of edge network equipment as well as wide area network connectivities that connect the entire organizations to the Abu Dhabi government network, which we call Abu Dhabi ad net. And also to ensure that we have accessibility to the service to the internet service provider within the country. We use these routers to ensure secure connectivity to their services.
Pros
- Fast connection and secure connection. So when you're talking about Cisco routers, one of the best things about Cisco equipment is ease of use. Now as a network engineer by design, configuring a router requires skill and the Cisco IOS provides you with the capability to learn quickly, understand how you operate the routers, and also ensure fast recovery during network downtime.
Cons
- I think now that we are moving into cloud migrations and cloud services, I think now the new routers that are coming out are cloud-friendly so to speak, and also can provide us with a higher level of security because of the continuous threats that we are receiving from different type of actors around the world. So security is also critical for cloud migration.
Most Important Features

Return on Investment
- I can only talk about the positive impact and that positive impact made us make a new decision just six months ago to go ahead and purchase a brand new whole network from Cisco based on our previous experiences with this product, which gave us the confidence to go ahead. We are ready for a new network because we have expansions, we have more users, we have more mandates from the government, so we are expanding and we needed Cisco to be part of that journey with us.
