Experience the new way of managing and securing your datacenters with the newly introduced Cisco N9300 Series Smart Switches and Hypershield. These high-capacity, multifunctional, service-hosting switches are powered by Cisco Silicon One E100 ASIC and AMD DPUs, ensuring high speed connectivity, rich telemetry, line-rate encryption and optimal power efficiency. Besides, they provide advanced network and security services such as stateful segmentation, large-scale NAT, IPsec encryption, IDS/IPS, event-based telemetry, DDoS protection, and more. With 800G service throughput, they are built to handle modern data center workloads. These switches, along with Hypershield, take security a notch higher by embedding it directly into the network fabric. The integration of Smart Switches can lead to operational simplicity and substantial cost savings, offering a business edge. Check out this blog for details and contact us to get started today.
What are the key features of the Cisco N9300 Series Smart Switches?
The Cisco N9300 Series Smart Switches are designed to enhance data center operations with programmable data processing units (DPUs) that integrate stateful services directly into the data center fabric. Key features include high-speed connectivity powered by the Cisco Silicon One E100 ASIC, 800G service throughput, and advanced security capabilities through Cisco Hypershield. These switches also offer intelligent traffic redirection, reducing latency and driving cost savings through hardware consolidation and operational simplicity.
How does Cisco Hypershield enhance security in data centers?
Cisco Hypershield integrates AI-driven security directly into the network fabric of the N9300 Series Smart Switches. It enables autonomous segmentation policies that adapt based on application behavior, ensuring consistent security enforcement across workloads. Hypershield also allows for up-to-date security posture management without disruption, leveraging digital twin technology for policy updates, and provides visibility for both network and security operations through Cisco Nexus Dashboard and Security Cloud Control.
What deployment options are available for the Cisco N9300 Series?
Organizations have flexible deployment options for the Cisco N9300 Series Smart Switches, suitable for both greenfield and brownfield environments. They can choose to deploy the Smart Switches first and enable Hypershield later after qualification, or implement both simultaneously for a seamless transition to a more autonomous and secure data center infrastructure.
