The Cisco C9500-16X-EDU Catalyst Switch represents the pinnacle of networking performance and security, tailored for educational institutions with demanding technological requirements. First, its impeccable design for the core and aggregation layers provides a reliable foundation for a robust campus network. With a powerful 2.4 GHz x86 CPU and 16 GB of DDR4 memory, network operations are processed swiftly and efficiently without bottlenecks. In terms of capacity, this switch offers a staggering up to 6.4 Tbps switching capacity, enabling seamless handling of intense data traffic and ensuring that educational applications and resources are always accessible without latency issues.

Security is paramount in any network, but especially in educational environments where sensitive research and student data are at stake. This switch features advanced security measures, including Encrypted Traffic Analytics and MACsec encryption, enabling the detection and response to threats even within encrypted traffic. Moreover, the programmable UADP ASIC enhances network flexibility for adapting to new protocols and technologies without hardware changes.

Networking should not be a hassle, and with the Cisco DNA Center integration, network operations are vastly simplified. From automated deployment to policy management and assurance, this centralized management platform streamlines administrative tasks, reduces the potential for human error, and frees up valuable IT resources. The Cisco C9500-16X-EDU also supports network virtualization, so you can segment your network for educational, administrative, and research needs without compromising performance.

When investing in network infrastructure, longevity is crucial. The switch’s high mean time between failures (MTBF) indicates reliability and reduced operational costs over its lifespan. Lastly, by choosing the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series, you are future-proofing your network, ensuring it can scale with the growth of your institution and embrace IoT and cloud-based applications effortlessly.

The Cisco® Catalyst® 9500 Series switches are the next generation of enterprise-class core and aggregation layer switches, supporting full programmability and serviceability. Based on an x86 CPU, the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series is Cisco’s lead purpose-built fixed core and aggregation enterprise switching platform, built for security, IoT, and cloud. The switches come with a 4-core x86, 2.4-GHz CPU, 16-GB DDR4 memory, and 16-GB internal storage.
