Why Migrate to Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches?
Why upgrade to Cisco® Catalyst® 9200 Series Switches?
The catalyst 9200 Series switches They are focused on SMEs but what does it offer us?- Faster core, faster access
The Catalyst 9200 series switches are twice as fast and have twice the capacity than traditional switches.
- Safety everywhere
Integrated security reduces attack inputs, helps you detect and stop threats.
Get advanced security features that protect the integrity of your hardware, software, and all data flowing through the switch. Through Talos, Trustworthy Solutions, MAC SEC encryption and segmentation.
- Centralized management
SD-Access and Web UI help bridge the IT gaps created by cloud, virtualization, and automation technologies. Simple web UI or DNA Center provisioning combined with open Cisco IOS XE APIs and UADP ASIC programmability.
Cisco IOS XE: It is the latest update to Cisco's core operating system. It's modular, programmable, and supports all the capabilities of our new network controller, DNA Center. That means with a simple user interface, you can automate, set policies, provide security, and gain security across your entire wired and wireless network, from the most remote branch or campus to your most central central system.
