The Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms offer a range of benefits and features that accelerate services, enhance security, provide application visibility, and enable cloud-native agility. Here’s a summary of the key advantages:
Accelerated Services with Cisco Catalyst Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN)
– Reliably and securely connect users, devices, and branch offices across diverse WAN transport links.
– Dynamically route traffic based on real-time application and network conditions for optimal application experiences.
– Tight control over application performance, bandwidth usage, data privacy, and WAN link availability.
Application Optimization
– Ensure strong performance and meet SLAs in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN networks, even in the presence of network issues.
– Accelerate SaaS applications with multi-cloud access and template-based configuration from the SD-WAN controller.
Multi-Layer Security
– Transition traditional and complex WAN networks to a more agile software-defined WAN with integrated security.
– Choose from on-premises and cloud-based security options available on the Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms.
Application Visibility
– Integrated with Cisco ThousandEyes internet and cloud intelligence for expanded visibility and analytics.
– Gain insights into network underlay, proactive monitoring of SD-WAN overlay, and performance measurement of SaaS applications.
– Lower Mean Time to Identification (MTTI) of issues and accelerate resolution time.
Cloud-Native Agility with Programmable Software Architecture
– Feature-rich traditional IOS XE routing stack offers flexibility, including IP routing, IPSec, QoS, firewall, NAT, NBAR, and FNF.
– Fully programmable software architecture with API support for easy configuration and wide protocol and configuration support.
– Choose between Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN and Cisco IOS XE, and switch between them as needed.
5G-Ready
– Built to support future 5G networks, with external cellular gateway modules for improved throughput and lower latency.
Compact Form Factor
– The Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms feature compact 1RU and 3RU platforms.
– Rich interface options including 1G, 10G, 40G, and 100G ports.
– Efficient third-generation QFP for high performance and port density.
In conclusion, the Cisco Catalyst 8500 Series Edge Platforms provide accelerated services, enhanced security, application visibility, cloud-native agility, and support for future 5G networks in a compact form factor. These platforms are designed to meet the needs of modern networking environments and enable organizations to optimize their WAN connectivity and application performance.
