7609-RSP720CXL-R Use Case
High-Availability Core Router for Global Enterprise WAN
A multinational financial services firm deploys the 7609-RSP720CXL-R chassis as its primary WAN core router across five continents. Leveraging the 9-slot frame with dual RSP720-3CXL and redundant power supplies, the solution delivers non-stop forwarding and sub-millisecond failover during maintenance or hardware faults. Outcome: 99.999% uptime, predictable low-latency connectivity, and simplified capacity upgrades to support peak trading volumes.
Scalable Service Provider Edge for MPLS and VPN Services
A tier-1 telecommunications provider uses the Cisco 7609 chassis to host MPLS PE and Layer-3 VPN services for enterprise customers. The 2 RSP720-3CXL route processors enable 200+ virtual routing contexts, while dual power supplies ensure continuous service. Benefit: Rapid on-boarding of new VPNs, seamless bandwidth scaling to multi-gigabit links, and strict SLA adherence with 24×7 deterministic performance.
Data Center Aggregation with Carrier-Grade Redundancy
A cloud-hosting operator implements the 7609-RSP720CXL-R in its regional data center as the aggregation switch for east-west traffic between compute pods. The high-performance backplane and redundant RSP720 modules deliver 1.2 Tbps non-blocking throughput and sub-second hitless failover. Result: Simplified network topology, accelerated VM migrations, and guaranteed service continuity for high-density IaaS workloads.
