Cisco Accelerates Local Innovation to Help Enable Digital India Vision
BENGALURU, December 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Showcases Products Conceptualised and Designed in India That Enable the Internet of
Everything
Cisco today showcased three products conceptualised, architected and designed out of
India that will help enable the vision of a digitised nation. In India, with a rapidly
increasing number of people, devices, machines and sensors coming online across the
Internet of Everything, companies require new capabilities to succeed. As India digitises,
the way in which applications are architected and delivered is being shaped by the demands
of Big Data, the Internet of Everything, mobility, video and cloud.
According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index(TM), 2013 - 2018, in India there will
be 526 million total Internet users and 1.5 billion networked devices by 2018. Video will
be 62% of India's mobile data traffic, and the gigabyte equivalent of all movies ever made
will cross India's IP networks every 2 hours by 2018. The three products, from the Cisco
India Development Centre, showcased today strongly demonstrate the company's ability to
create products and solutions for the next generation of communications technologies.
Spanning the areas of mobility, cloud and computing technologies, the networking products
have been designed to power the vision of a digitised India.
ASR 920-O: This next generation Aggregation Services Router (ASR) is a full-featured
converged access platform for the cost-effective delivery of wireline and wireless
services and is optimised for mobile backhaul, residential and business service
applications. Conceptualised and architected in India, and designed for the Indian
environment, the ASR 920-O is a temperature hardened, high-throughput, small form factor
and low-power-consumption router.
According to the Cisco(R) Visual Networking Index, 2013 - 2018, mobile data traffic in
India will grow 24-fold from 2013 to 2018, a compound annual growth rate of 88%. This
explosion of demand for mobility from citizens, to small and large companies, to the
government, will require a robust mobile Internet network and powerful enterprise
connectivity. In a Digital India, the rapidly growing mobile network requires a
multi-gigabit fast, reliable and temperature-hardened access network while enterprise
connectivity needs a dense and fast aggregation network. The ASR 920-O addresses both
these requirements, connecting data to people to processes and things, enabling new
business models to emerge, and leading to better decision-making and richer customer
experiences.
ISR 800M: As India becomes more connected, routers will play an increasingly integral
role by providing secure connectivity to everything from retail stores and bank branches
to manufacturing plants and small offices in a highly secure environment. Conceptualised
and architected in India, and designed for Indian environment, the Cisco 800M Integrated
Services Router (ISR) is cost effective, easy to deploy and simplifies large-scale
wireless wide-area networks (WAN) deployments.
Designed for flexible and multiple access options, the ISR 800M provides connectivity
over both GSM and CDMA technologies, making the router ideal for microbranches, remote
offices of large enterprises or government services across the country. With a modular
platform that makes it 4G compatible, the ISR 800M is designed with an intuitive graphical
user interface allowing non-experts to deploy the product swiftly and cost effectively.
The ISR 800M is one of Cisco's first routers to provide an open, extensible environment
for developing and hosting applications at the network edge for local processing right in
the router. This is enabled by the Cisco IOx framework, which allows customers to develop
custom solutions that require real-time, local data collection and analysis such as retail
kiosks, vending machines, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and M2M sensors in other
applications.
MDS 9250i: The Multilayer Director Switch (MDS) 9250i is Cisco's next generation
Storage Area Networking (SAN) services switch that was conceptualised, architected and
designed in India. According to the EMC Digital Universe Study with research and analysis
by IDC, April 2014, data produced worldwide will grow 10 times by 2020, from 4.4ZB today
to 44ZB; 32 billion Internet of Things devices will be connected to the Internet; 40
percent of data will be touched by cloud; and enterprises will have liability and
responsibility for 85 percent of all data.
With the digitisation of India, there is an ever-increasing demand for storage with
efficiency and cost effectiveness, at a premium, from industries such as e-commerce, to
citizen services, to the government. Companies, both large and small, require high
performance connectivity, application uptime, reliability, disaster recovery and data
backup capabilities. The MDS 9250i is the SAN industry's first multiprotocol capable
services switch that enables a cost effective "SAN in a box" consolidation in small
enterprises while providing high performance replication and disaster recovery
capabilities to large enterprises.
Strong Pipeline of Innovation from India
Innovation is a core part of the Cisco culture, and annually $5.9 billion is invested
in R&D worldwide. For Cisco, 830 patents have been filed from India and 500 patents issued
for innovations across all technologies. The ASR 920-O, ISR 800M and MDS 9250i are the
latest in a line of industry award-winning products and solutions from India. A recent
innovation to be recognised from India was the Autonomic Networking solution, which has
won the Pioneer award, Cisco's highest company-wide recognition of engineering innovation.
The three products continue Cisco's tradition of 'reverse innovation' where engineers in
India design products to address the requirements of emerging countries like India but end
up developing products that are globally attractive and competitive.
The ASR 920-O, ISR 800M and MDS 9250i represent how Cisco India's innovation engine
can enable the digitisation of a country and empower companies to be more innovative,
agile and efficient. As more devices capture more data, interact with more people and
change the processes by which we live, learn, work and play, the Internet of Everything
will have a profound impact on India. The foundation for a Digital India will be
intelligent networks which will transform the delivery of citizen services from
transportation, utilities and security to entertainment, education, and healthcare. Cisco
is leading the way in India to deliver the benefits of virtualisation, management and
software-defined networking-based advances by enabling the government and businesses to
deliver voice, video, data, and mobility services for citizens and customers.
