Why migrate to Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches?
Cisco has launched two new products within the Cisco Catalyst 9000 family, the Catalyst 9200 switch and the Catalyst 9800 wireless LAN controller. With these new models, CISCO incorporates wireless access to the new age of intent-based networks. A network that learns, adapts, and protects your investment, and becomes more efficient and secure over time.
In today's article we will focus on the CISCO Catalyst 9200 Switch.
Why upgrade to Cisco® Catalyst® 9200 Series switches ?
The catalyst 9200 Series switches are focused for SMEs but what does it offer?
- Faster core, faster access
The Catalyst 9200 series switches are twice as fast and have twice the capacity of traditional switches.
- Security everywhere
Integrated security reduces attack entries, helps you detect and stop threats. Get advanced security features that protect the integrity of your hardware, software and all the data that flows through the switch. Talos, Trustworthy Solutions, MACsec encryption and segmentation.
- Centralized management
SD-Access and Web UI help close the IT gaps created by the cloud, virtualization and automation technologies. Simple web user interface or DNA Center provisioning combined with the open Cisco IOS XE APIs and the programming capability of the UADP ASIC technology.
Cisco IOS XE: is the latest update of the core operating system from Cisco. It is modular, programmable and supports all the capabilities of our new network controller, DNA Center. This means that with a simple user interface, you can automate, establish policies, provide security and obtain security throughout your network of wired and wireless networks, from the branch or the farthest campus to your most central central system.
