Cisco bringer hensigtsbaserede kablede og trådløse netværk til offentligheden

Beijing, April 15, 2019 – I mere end to årtier, the Catalyst family of switches has been known for constantly challenging the limits of network functionality. Last year, Cisco Catalyst 9000 switch further broke the limit by giving the large network a self-learning, self-adjusting, and self-evolving capability by introducing an intent-based network. Cisco is now extending its iconic Catalyst portfolio to all wired and wireless access products, including branch office scenarios. It introduces intent-based networks into deployments of all sizes, bringing smarter, simpler, and more secure networks to more customers.

Sachin Gupta, senior vice president of product networking management at Cisco Enterprise Network, sagde: “We are excited to enable anyone to take full advantage of Cisco’s intent-based capabilities from anywhere. We want to provide IT with the tools they need to complete the network. Automated deployment and easy viewing of all end-to-end network dynamics. Our expanded Catalyst 9000 portfolio allows customers to not only achieve this on large wired networks but also enjoy the same benefits in wireless and simple branch office deployments.

An intent-based network will revolutionize the way companies build and manage their networks, and manual, time-consuming, and error-prone work styles will exit the historical arena. Instead, modern networks can capture business intent and turn it into a network policy that enables automatic network configuration in just a few minutes and is guaranteed to be completely correct.

New Catalyst products

The Cisco Catalyst 9000 Series is built for intent-based networking. It runs on a programmable open operating system to support all access and WAN products. This enables Cisco customers to enable new software innovations faster, streamline IT operations and reduce costs. A single software controller automates the entire network, while a programmable ASIC provides unparalleled investment protection. På samme tid, security is not simply added, but embedded in the network.

By extending the Catalyst 9000 Series to wireless deployment and mid-market customers, Cisco is driving more customers into the new Internet age. These new products include:

New wireless controller: On first use, customers can use the same operating system to run consistent security, automation, and analytics services across wired and wireless environments. The Cisco Catalyst 9800 Series Wireless Controller runs anywhere, including local and cloud, and is also virtually virtual embedded on Catalyst 9000 skifter. It supports the current wireless standards and is ready for the 802.11ax standard. It also enhances wireless services with non-disruptive software updates, new threat defenses, and advanced programmability.

New mid-market switches: Katalysatoren 9200 switch extends intent-based networking to simple branch office deployments and mid-market customers. For the first time, the mid-market is able to enjoy full-service services at a similar price to the previous generation of Cisco switches. Simplify deployment with uncompromising functionality, and customers get the security and resiliency that the Catalyst family has always had. Time to market, service, and support

Katalysatoren 9800 Wireless Controller was released in the fourth quarter of 2018

The Catalyst 9200L switch will be available in the first quarter of 2019, and the Catalyst 9200 switch will be available in the second quarter of 2019.

Cisco and its partners offer a complete service lifecycle to help customers streamline their journey to create truly intention-based networks
