Cisco Enterprise Routers Scalability
It's highly scalable, but there is some cost involved. If you need one gig throughput, you don't need to procure another offer. You just need to purchase the throughput license, and you can increase the throughput. These are very costly licenses.
I would rate the scalability as eight out of ten.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a seven or eight out of ten.
My company mostly deals with small-sized businesses that use the solution.
Scalability is limited for Cisco Routers. Interface scalability has additional slots to plug the card in and increased the required interfaces and required media, like fiber or copper band. The performance of the router is limited. Cisco Router is a hardware platform with IOS, which is limited for every hardware-based plan. However, whatever limitations there have been, we have not felt any bottlenecks.
The challenge is when the customer wants to have a complete technology change, for example, IP VPN to SD-WAN, they will need to also have a hardware refresh and replace all of the hardware.

View full review »The solution isn't too scalable. It's not modular. You have to size everything correctly.
A lot of people are using the solution. We use it throughout the city.
The company itself has about 1000 employees. However, we also have a compound that includes villas and apartments. We are delivering various services using Cisco infrastructure.

We are leveraging IP everywhere. There is no issue. We can stock up on LAN cards.
Of course, we cannot upgrade the main engine; that requires a product upgrade, which we are considering beginning next quarter.
It's a fairly large company, with around 1,000 people directly benefiting from it. That's just the headquarters; when you factor in the regions and other offices, the total number of people is around 5,000.
It is widely used because it has become our backbone for all IT. We have centrally deployed all of our databases, mail servers, and other systems. It's essentially a continuous deployment architecture.

The router is the main device in my company. So, everyone who wants to access the internet will go through it. However, I am the only one with access to the router and its features. Thus, all other people have to access the internet through the router as a user without access to its features, and they may not even be aware of the process. They only have access to the internet without the knowledge of how it works. Since I am in the IT section, I have access to all the necessary details.

These routers support a user base of about seven hundred and fifty people. We do not immediately plan on increasing our usage, although as the economy grows, we can see increasing our user base to perhaps one thousand users in two years. It will increase as we open more branch offices.

It is scalable. If we are adding a network and then a branch, that is just with a press of a button but increasing internally isn't so easy. Physical scalability is easier. For example, I have a client who has funding from Nairobi then to Mombasa and they want a branch office.
In terms of the users, I have ten plants that are using this.

There are no limitations to the number of users it can have, but it depends on the equipment and the network size. One local router could serve maybe five hundred to one thousand customers, whereas a larger network can accommodate more, so the number of users depends on the equipment and the technical parameters.

Whether the solution scales well depends on the client and the model they've chosen to work with. Some customers have certain requirements and will need to work with certain models in order to get the scalability they desire.
We usually do some analysis and we only provide recommendations based on future goals or future requirements, instead of anything else. That way, we're prepared for an expansion.
We typically support small or medium companies. We don't typically deal with enterprise-level organizations. If we do deal with enterprises, it is only for support and not for implementation.
