About the Cisco ENCS 5400-W Series
The Cisco Enterprise Network Compute System (ENCS) is an x86 hybrid platform for branch
deployment and for hosting WAAS applications. Each model is a high-performance unit that 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.
vWAAS models supported on ENCS 5400-W
• ENCS 5406-W—Supports vWAAS 200 and vWAAS-750.
• ENCS 5408-W—Supports vWAAS-1300.
• ENCS 5412-W—Supports vWAAS-2500 and vWAAS-6000-R.
Cisco NFVIS 3.7.1
Cisco NFVIS 3.7.1 contains the following specifications:
• Linux distribution CentOS—Version 7.3
• Kernel version—3.10.0-514.21.1.el7.x86_64
• Libvirt version—2.0.0
• OVS version—2.5.2
• QEMU version—1.5.3
Note ENCS 5400-W with Cisco NFVIS is designed as a simple, low-touch device for WAAS and vWAAS.
Therefore, the hypervisor is hidden, and there is no need to load other VNFs onto an ENCS-W device.
This is the case whether or not you use the CIMC console with an ENCS-W device.
