About the Cisco 5400 Enterprise Network Compute System
The Cisco 5400 Enterprise Network Compute System (ENCS) combines routing, switching, storage, processing,
and a host of other computing and networking activities into a compact one Rack Unit (RU) box. This
high-performance unit achieves this goal by providing the infrastructure to deploy virtualized network functions
while at the same time acting as a server that addresses processing, workload, and storage challenges.
