Built for security, IoT, mobility, and cloud,The Cisco®
Catalyst® 9300 Series switches are Cisco's lead stackable
enterprise sw platform built for security, IoT, mobility,
and cloud. They are the next generation of the industry's most
widely deployed sw platform. Catalyst 9300 Series switches
form the foundational building block for Software-Defined Access
(SD-Access), Cisco's lead enterprise architecture. At up to 480
Gbps, they are the industry's highest-density stacking bandwidth
solution with the most flexible uplink architecture. The Catalyst
9300 Series is the first optimized platform for high-density
Wi-Fi 6 and 802.11ac Wave2. It sets new maximums for network
scale. These switches are also ready for the future, with an x86
CPU architecture and more memory, enabling them to host
containers and run third-party applications and scripts natively
within the switch.,The Catalyst 9300 Series is designed for Cisco
StackWise® technology, providing flexible deployment with support
for nonstop forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), for
the most resilient architecture in a stackable (sub-50-ms)
solution. The highly resilient and efficient power architecture
features Cisco StackPower®, which delivers high-density Cisco
Universal Power over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE®) and Power over
Ethernet Plus (PoE+) ports. The switches are based on the Cisco
Unified Access™ Data Plane 2.0 (UADP) 2.0 architecture which not
only protects your investment but also allows a larger scale and
higher throughput. A modern operating system, Cisco IOS® XE with
programmability offers advanced security capabilities and
Internet of Things (IoT) convergence. The Foundation of
software-Defined access Advanced persistent security threats. The
exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Mobility
everywhere. Cloud adoption. All of these require a network fabric
that integrates advanced hardware and software innovations to
automate, secure, and simplify customer networks. The goal of
this network fabric is to enable customer revenue growth by
accelerating the rollout of business services.,The Cisco Digital
Network Architecture (Cisco ) with Software-Defined Access
(SD-Access) is the network fabric that powers business. It is an
open and extensible, software-driven architecture that
accelerates and simplifies your enterprise network operations.
The programmable architecture frees your IT staff from
time-consuming, repetitive network configuration tasks so they
can focus instead on innovation that positively transforms your
business. SD-Access enables policy-based automation from edge to
cloud with foundational capabilities. These include:,Cisco
software,Cisco Software offers a valuable and flexible way to
buy software for the access, WAN, and data center domains. At
each stage in the product lifecycle, Cisco Software helps
make buying, managing, and upgrading your network and
infrastructure software easier. Cisco Software
provides:,Simplified device deployment,Unified management of
wired and wireless networks,Network virtualization and
segmentation,Group-based policies,Context-based
analytics,Flexible licensing models to smoothly distribute
