● Unified support - Consistent and reliable product support for both hardware and software is included with the unified licenses.
With Cisco® C9000 Smart Switches you can:
Transform the network for a future-proof workplace with a powerful platform that provides the broadest range of bandwidth, speed, scale, and power required for today’s more immersive, AI Enterprise, big and small.
Enable workplaces that deliver outcomes for everyone
A future-proof workplace has the agility to support the evolving needs of modern work while being resilient enough to adapt to an unknown future. It is where amazing experiences become the norm, not the exception. Offices become magnets, not just mandates. Technology becomes integrated and extensible, not rip and replace. Collaboration happens everywhere, not just in person. And security is infused from the start, not as an afterthought.
This is exactly what the Cisco C9000 family of access and core smart switches delivers.
Secure the network from inside to outside by leveraging enhanced onboard computational power and advanced AI/ML to apply continuous zero-trust security anywhere it’s needed.
Future-proof design so IT can work smarter, not harder, with converged switching and routing capabilities, enhanced app hosting, and more config automations for a smarter, more sustainable, and more agile campus and branch.
Cisco C9000 Smart Switches:
● Automate on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments with APIs and AI-certified turnkey apps that can improve operational efficiency, secure business operations, and troubleshoot and respond faster with AI-powered incident response, including anomaly detection and automated reporting.
● Deliver IoT convergence with industry-leading scale and capabilities such as service discovery and “Thing” classification.
● Are based on the latest Cisco Silicon One™ Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology that has been optimized to power the AI Enterprise with programmable pipeline and tables that help ensure platform longevity.
● Run a modern operating system, Cisco IOS XE, that supports model-driven programmability, streaming telemetry, patching, and on-premises and cloud management options natively.
● Use enhanced X86-based multicore CPUs and optional local Solid-State Disk (SSD) storage for third-party container-based application hosting, include Docker, ThousandEyes®, Cisco Spaces, Adaptive Security Appliance container (ASAc), and Cisco Hypershield™ readiness.
● Provide unprecedented Application Visibility and Control (AVC) with Network- Based Application Recognition (NBAR) Version 2.
The Cisco C9000 Smart Switching portfolio will continue to expand and combined with the Catalyst portfolio, will meet the evolving needs of your network, offering upgrade options for every Cisco Catalyst™ switch series— the Catalyst 2000, 3000, 4000, and 6000 level platforms.
