Video traffic continues to grow rapidly. Cisco VNI predicts that internet video will grow a 100% between 2012 and 2018. It would take more than 5 million years to watch the amount of video that will cross global IP networks each month in 2021. Every second, a million minutes of video content will cross the network. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) will carry 71 percent of Internet traffic by 2021. Content providers will need to scale their networks at speed to keep up with the demand for more video. Networks needs to be designed with “web-scale” in mind. A web-scale network needs to scale at deployment speed while being operationally simple. Network Convergence System 1004 uses state of start silicon along with complete automation and real-time visibility to deliver a universal transponder solution that provides best-in-class performance for metro, long-haul and submarine applications while being simple to deploy and manage.
