Cisco Router C8200-1N-4T with NIM ES2-4

The Cisco® Catalyst® 8200 Series Edge Platforms with Cisco IOS® XE SD-WAN software deliver Cisco’s secure, cloud-scale SD-WAN solution for the small branch. The platforms are purpose-built for performance and integrated SD-WAN services along with flexibility to deliver security and networking services together from the cloud or on premises. They have a wide variety of interface options to choose from, with backward compatibility to existing WAN, LAN, and voice modules. Powered by Cisco IOS XE, a fully programmable software architecture, and API support, the Catalyst 8200 Series can facilitate automation at scale to achieve zero-touch IT capability while migrating workloads to the cloud. The platforms also come with a trustworthy solutions 2.0 infrastructure that secures them against threats and vulnerabilities through advanced integrity verification and remediation of threats.

The 8200 Series is well suited for small and medium-sized enterprise branch offices at optimal price/performance with integrated SD-WAN services.

The Catalyst 8200 Series Edge Platforms are offered in two models: C8200L-1N-4T for the small branch with SASE-compliant, cloud-based security requirements, and C8200-1N-4T for the small to medium-sized branch with requirements for higher throughput, scale, and service flexibility. In addition to supporting SASE-compliant cloud-based security services, the C8200-1N-4T also delivers a flexible system of best-in-class, on-premises security services through container-based apps, using Cisco’s third-party ecosystem.
