Top three reasons to upgrade to Catalyst 9000 family:

Secure

With access to Cisco’s best in class security portfolio anchored by Talos, Encrypted Traffic Analytics, Trustworthy Solutions, MACsec encryption and segmentation, the product family provides advanced security features that protects the integrity of the hardware as well as the software and all data that flows through the switch and the network.

Always On

The Catalyst 9000 family provides enterpriselevel resiliency to keep your business up and running seamlessly. Opttions like FRU power supplies and fans, modular uplinks, modular patching, perpetual PoE, and the industry’s highest MTBF.

Catalyst 9800 wireless controllers can be deployed as redundant or cloud-based options for additional wireless control redundancy.

IT Simplicity

Combine the application visibility of full flexible NetFlow with telemetry and the open APIs of Cisco IOS XE and on switches, the UADP ASIC programmability, and Catalyst 9000 portfolio gives you the best experience provisioning and managing your network now with investment protection on future innovations.

Cisco Catalyst 9000 is the best solution for a new era of intent-based networking.

The Cisco® Catalyst® 9000 family of switches is the next generation of enterprise-class switches built for security, Internet of Things (IoT), mobility, and multicloud.
These switches form the foundational building block for Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access), the company’s lead enterprise architecture. Cisco Catalyst 9000 switches are based on x86 CPU and the latest Cisco Unified Access™ Data Plane (UADP) ASIC, which support full programmability and serviceability as well as convergence between wired and wireless over a single platform. The switches provide superior high availability and unmatched security features for the next-generation enterprise network designs. Wired and wireless security and application visibility are natively built into the switches.
The Cisco Catalyst 9000 switching family also supports full IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), and Cisco Universal Power over Ethernet (Cisco UPOE®). These switches enhance productivity by enabling applications such as IP telephony, wireless, IoT, and video for a true borderless network experience.
These switches also provide segmentation options with new, innovative Cisco Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP)- and Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN)-based segmentation called campus fabric- and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)- based segmentation. They also support all the foundational high-availability capabilities such as patching, Graceful Insertion and Removal (GIR), Non-Stop Forwarding/Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), redundant platinum-rated power supplies, and fans.

Additionally, all Cisco Catalyst 9000 switches:

• Deliver IoT convergence with industry-leading scale and capabilities such as service discovery and “Thing” classification

• Are based on the the latest UADP Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology with programmable pipeline and tables that help ensure platform longevity

• Run a modern operating system, open Cisco IOS® XE Software, that supports model-driven programmability, streaming telemetry, and patching

• Use X86-based multicore CPUs and local Solid-State Disk (SSD) storage for third-party container-based application hosting

• Provide unprecedented application visibility and control with Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR) Version2.
