Built for security, IoT, mobility, and cloud. The Cisco® Catalyst® 9300 Series
switches are Cisco’s lead stackable enterprise switching platform built for security, IoT, mobility, and cloud.
They are the next generation of the industry’s most widely deployed switching 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 Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), 60W Cisco Universal Power over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE) and 90W Cisco UPOE+©
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 DNA) 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 DNA software. Cisco DNA 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 DNA Software helps make buying, managing, and upgrading your network and infrastructure software easier. Cisco DNA Software provides:
Cisco DNA lets you manage your entire switching structure as a single, converged component. With one management system and one policy for wired and wireless networks, it offers an efficient way to provide more secure access.
