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 outperforms all previous CCR models in single-core performance, and that's the most important factor when it comes to heavy, connection-based processing operations, like queuing. But that's not all! It also boasts the best single-core performance per watt and the best overall performance per watt among all CCR devices. Better for the planet, better for your 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 USB console port and a full-size RJ-45 port on the front panel. Like all CCR devices, it comes in a classic 1U rackmount white box. Built-in redundant dual 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 eight Gigabit Ethernet ports is connected to a separate Marvell Amethyst family switch chip. Each switch chip has a 10Gbps full-duplex lane connected to the CPU. The same is true for each SFP+ cage: a separate 10Gbps full-duplex 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 that it's trading blows with our CCR1009. Even outperforming it on heavy CPU configurations! And if that weren't enough, it can even match the performance of the CCR1016.
The best part? This new CCR is among the most affordable options available, not just within the CCR series, but on the market as a whole. One of the most common ways to use this device is with Gigabit Ethernet ports for the internal network and SFP+ ports for downlink and uplink. The perfect all-in-one solution for small and medium-sized businesses. Easy and efficient.
With the new CCR2004, you can take your office network to the next level. Without breaking the bank.
