Product Information
The Catalyst 9300 Series is the industry standard in enterprise switching based on performance, programmability as well and security. Its UADP 2.0 architecture not only safeguards the long-term investments but also provides scalability for future growth. With the integration of Cisco DNA, there is policy-based automation, analytics based on context, and integrated wired-wireless management.
The switch was designed to be used in a nonstop mode, and it uses Cisco StackWise Virtual to achieve high availability with a failover of less than 50 ms. Moreover, the Cisco StackPower, which is energy energy-efficient technology, provides power sharing capability in a number of switches. The C9300-48U-A is also best suited to incorporate IoT and mobility, which makes it the perfect fit in organizations that are approaching cloud-first and are ready to approach next-generation requirements with their infrastructure.
