Cisco Cloud Services Platform (CSP) 5000 series platforms are x86 Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) software and hardware platforms for the data center, regional hub, and colocation Network Functions Virtualization (NFV). The platforms enable enterprise IT teams or service providers to quickly deploy any Cisco or third-party network virtual service with Cisco's Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) or any other northbound management and orchestration system. Or they can be used standalone through a simple, built-in native web user interface, a Command-Line Interface (CLI), a Representational State Transfer (REST) API, and NETCONF/YANG interfaces.
Single Root I/O Virtualization, Open vSwitch Data Plane Development Kit
The optimized data plane provides near-line rates for SR-IOV-enabled VNFs and provides high throughput with OVS DPDK interfaces.
Uniform web, CLI, and REST API
The CSP 5228 supports NETCONF/YANG, which enables consistent behavior across different interfaces.
CLI interface
Cisco IOX CLI interface reduces training and learning time.
