Accelerated services with Cisco software-defined WAN
Cisco SD-WAN is a set of intelligent software services that allow you to connect users, devices, and branch office locations reliably and securely across a diverse set of WAN transport links. Cisco Catalyst 8300 series edge platforms can dynamically route traffic across the "best" link based on up-to-the-minute application and network conditions for great application experiences. You get tight control over application performance, bandwidth usage, data privacy, and availability of your WAN links - control you need as your branches conduct greater volumes of mission-critical business with both on-premises and cloud controllers.
-
Application performance optimization
Ensure that SD-WAN networks meet SLAs and maintain strong performance, even if network problems occur. With branch multi-cloud access, you can accelerate your SaaS applications with a simple template push from the SD-WAN controller. Features like TCP optimization, forward error correction, and packet duplication help application performance for a better user experience.
-
Multi-layer security
You can move your traditional and complex WAN networks to a more agile software-defined WAN with integrated security. The Cisco Catalyst 8300 series edge platforms connect branch offices to the Internet and cloud, with superior protection against major web attacks. Secure direct Internet access (DIA) to the branches helps optimize branch workloads for improved performance, specifically for cloud-hosted applications. At the same time, DIA ensures your branch is protected from external threats.
-
Unified communications
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 edge platforms offer rich voice services. In SD-WAN mode, the Catalyst 8300 series prevents internal and external outages using SRST enabling branch router to assume role of call control PBX for telephony survivability.
-
Cloud-native agility with a programmable software architecture
Cisco continues to offer a feature-rich routing stack on the Cisco Catalyst 8300 series edge platforms. IP routing, IPSec, QoS, firewall, network-based application recognition (NBAR), and many other features are part of Cisco's programmable software architecture with API support and a wide variety of protocols and configurations.
-
5G-ready platform
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 series edge platforms are built for future 5G networks. With higher throughputs with CAT18 LTE and 5G, WAN networks are looking at wireless WAN as primary transports for different use cases. These platforms will support both integrated pluggable modules as well as external cellular gateway modules with LTE/5G capability for improved throughputs that address all of those use cases. Based on a specific branch's direct line of sight and cellular coverage, either integrated or external gateway can be chosen for that particular situation.
Cisco Catalyst 8300 platforms deliver Cisco's secure, cloud-scale SD-WAN solution for the branch. The Catalyst 8300 series is purpose-built for high performance and integrated SD-WAN services along with flexibility to deliver security and networking services together from the cloud or on premises. It provides higher WAN port density and a redundant power supply capability. Powered by Cisco's fully programmable software architecture, and API support, these platforms can facilitate automation at scale to achieve zero-touch IT capability while migrating workloads to the cloud. Catalyst 8300 series edge platforms also come with an infrastructure that secures the platforms against threats and vulnerabilities with integrity verification and remediation of threats.
