Cisco has introduced new and updated Cisco Catalyst® switching and Integrated Services Router products.

Cisco Catalyst 4500 Supervisor 8E

In its dynamic of consolidation and improving its portfolio of services and products, Cisco, henceforth provides high-performing
, fully programmable enterprise networking solutions.

This new approach aims to respond at Cloud and mobile trends which continue to boost the demand for more sophisticated applications and services. Therefore Cisco is evolving its networking portfolio to provide greater network intelligence, performance and simplicity that will accelerate application and service innovation while lowering IT total cost of ownership.

Part of the new Cisco® Enterprise Networks Architecture, these products enable applications to get the networking information they need to offer more innovative services to end users with less hands-on administration from IT professionals.

Cisco Enterprise Networks campus and branch innovations include now:

• Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL modular switch for the next-generation campus backbone, optimized for 10/40/100 Gbps, sharing the DNA of the Catalyst 6500 for investment protection and operational consistency. The Catalyst 6807-XL is a 7-slot, 10-rack-unit modular chassis with up to 880 Gbps per slot capacity and 11.4TB per port switching capacity.
• Cisco Catalyst 6880-X semi-fixed switch enhances Cisco’s midmarket portfolio with 10 Gbps advanced services for smaller and mid-size campus deployments. The Catalyst 6880-X is a 3-slot, 4RU switch with 16 fixed 10 Gbps port Supervisor engine and four half slots for optional 10 Gbps or 40 Gbps line cards, supporting up to eighty 10 Gbps ports or twenty 40 Gbps ports.
• Cisco Catalyst 6800ia Instant Access switch provides programmable, one-touch deployments for simplified Catalyst 6000 campus operations. The Cisco Catalyst 6800ia simplifies campus network IT by virtually consolidating access switches across multiple locations into one extended switch, and includes all the feature richness of the Catalyst 6800 and 6500 switches for access networks.
• Cisco 4500E Supervisor Engine 8E brings Cisco Unified Access™ to the most widely deployed modular access switch, allowing customers to preserve their wired infrastructure investments by extending common features, resiliency and granular QoS to wireless. The fully programmable Cisco UADP ASIC, introduced in January with the Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch, will be featured in the new Cisco Catalyst 4500E Supervisor Engine 8E, extending wired and wireless convergence to chassis-based switches.
• Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR) 4451-AX addresses the needs of the largest, most demanding branch offices, extending the branch router portfolio up to 2 gigabit forward performance with native services and pay-as-you-grow purchase model. ISR 4451-AX enables IT professionals to deploy application services in minutes and includes native WAN optimization with a services aware data plane for LAN-like experience at the branch.
• Cisco Aggregation Services Router (ASR) 1000-AX provides application services for WAN aggregation by integrating Application Visibility and Control and AppNav with Virtual Wide Area Application Services (vWAAS) into the most popular customer configurations.

The Cisco ISR 4451-AX is available now; the ASR 1000-AX and 4500E Supervisor Engine 8E are scheduled to be available in July; and the Catalyst 6800 Switch Series are scheduled to be available in November 2013.
