Cloud Core Router 16-Core ARM, 12 Gigabit ports, 4 10G SFP+

We wanted to see the full potential of good, old, reliable 10G networking combined with a modern CPU. The CCR2116-12G-4S+ lets you forget about CPU limitations in your setup. Just like its smaller sibling, the amazing CCR2004, this router features the powerful Amazon Annapurna Labs Alpine CPU.

But with 16 cores running at 2 GHz, this CCR eats the other one for breakfast. For example, we see at least a 15% increase in single-core performance. And that is the most important aspect when it comes to heavy, per-connection-based operations. Like queues, for instance. A new standard of single-core performance in the entire CCR product family. And it supports Layer 3 hardware offloading.

Obviously, you need the right connectivity to tap into this power. There are four 10G SFP+ ports. They have a separate, full-duplex line connected to the Marvell Aldrin family switch chip. Then we have Gigabit Ethernet ports. 12 of them run through the Marvel chip. And there is another Gigabit port connected directly to the CPU. For management purposes.

Every group of 4 ports has an independent full-duplex connection to the switch chip. No bottlenecks here. You can expect switch-like throughput in most setups. The new generation of processors delivers mind-blowing performance. If you look at the CCR1036, the powerhouse with a 36-core CPU, the new CCR2116 can easily double the performance. 16 cores versus 36 cores. Double the performance. Or even more.

If you are a fairly large ISP, dealing with dynamic routing, massive BGP, complex firewall rules, and intricate Quality of Service configurations. This is the right device for you. Combination of raw power and utility with the reliable 10G networking. And yes, as with any ISP-level device, we have included a redundant dual power supply. So you have one less thing to worry about.

CCR2116-12G-4S+: time-tested technology, designed for the future.

The device has an operating system preinstalled and licensed. No separate purchase is necessary and the product is ready to use. The device includes free software updates for the life of the product or a minimum of 5 years from the date of purchase.
