Like the other models in the CCR2004 series, this CCR also features the Annapurna Labs Alpine v2 CPU with four 64-bit ARMv8-A Cortex-A57 cores running at 1.7 GHz. But here's the difference. This powerful router crushes all previous CCR models on a single core, and that's the most important aspect when it comes to heavy-duty, connection-based operations. Like queuing, for example. But that's not all! It also has the best single-core performance per watt and the best overall performance per watt among all CCR devices. Better for the planet, better for the bills—it's a win-win!
The new router has 18 wired ports, including 16 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10G SFP+ cages. It also has a full-size USB and RJ-45 console port on the front panel. Like all CCR devices, it comes in a classic 1U white rackmount case. Built-in dual redundant power supplies are included, so you have one less thing to worry about. And of course, there's active cooling to keep things nice and cool. Each group of 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports is connected to a separate switch chip from the Marvell Amathyst family. Each switch chip has a full-duplex 10Gbps lane connected to the CPU. The same goes for each SFP+ cage: a separate full-duplex 10Gbps lane. The boards come with 4GB of DDR4 RAM and 128MB of NAND storage.
So, as you can see, there are no bottlenecks. As long as the CPU can handle the processing, all ports can reach wire speed. And this CPU is a beast that can handle a lot. If we look at the performance, you can see it's hitting commercial highs with our CCR1009. It even surpasses it on CPU-heavy configurations! And if that wasn't enough, it can even match the performance of the CCR1016.
The best part? This new CCR is one of the most affordable options available, not only within the CCR series, but on the market in general. One of the most common ways to use this device would be: Gigabit Ethernet ports for the internal network; SFP+ ports for downlink and uplink. The perfect all-in-one solution for small and medium-sized businesses. Easy and efficient.
The device comes with a pre-installed and licensed operating system. No separate purchase is required, and the product is ready to use. The device includes free software updates for the life of the product, or for a minimum of 5 years from the date of purchase.
