The Harmonic COS-SRV-S2-AC-01 is a high-performance, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) server optimized to run Harmonic's market-leading cOS Broadband Platform. This 1-RU hardware appliance acts as the physical foundation for the virtualized Cable Modem Termination System (vCMTS), transforming traditional headends into agile, software-driven environments. By centralizing core network management onto standard IT server architecture, operators can eliminate the need for space-consuming, legacy hardware CMTS platforms and significantly lower overall capital expenditure.

Engineered for continuous, carrier-grade field environments, this server model handles highly intensive processing, data forwarding, and traffic control across Distributed Access Architectures (DAA). It features integrated alternating current (AC) power configurations and a hardened system architecture to safeguard next-generation multi-gigabit broadband delivery. The integration of this specialized server ensures high service availability, massive power and cooling savings, and the flexibility to seamlessly adapt to future DOCSIS and fiber access standards.
