Is customer experience a critical focus for your business? 1
How important do you view security as part of your IT infrastructure strategy? 2
Would simpler deployment, operations and operability be a benefit? 3
Is application access a headache for your users and IT staff? 4
Do you view your IT as business supporting or business enabling? 5

Purpose Built for BYOD Because
New Catalyst 6K is purpose built for BYOD because –
1 Delivers integrated context
aware networking (take networking decisions based in user, device, location, time-of-the-day)
2 It is optimized for 10G/40G
and is ready for 100G (offering investment protection)
3 Wired and Wireless
convergence in a single network
1 Can’t deliver context aware
networking (take networking
decisions based in user,
device, location, time-of-the-
day etc)
2 Can’t handle the traffic
increased produced by the
explosion of devices,
applications (specially
video) and wireless traffic
3 Independent networks for
Wired and Wireless

Purpose Built for Integrated Security Because
New Catalyst 6K is purpose built for Security because –
1 Offers data confidentiality
and simple policy enforcement with cryptographic encryption of all traffic and role based/topology independent policy enforcement
2 Simplifies the creation of
Virtual Networks by a factor of 10x+ with EVN
3 Speedy detection and
resolution of security breaches with real-time visibility and control over network applications
1 You can’t ensure the
confidentiality of your
communications
2 It is difficult to maintain
security policies while
ensuring business continuity
3 It is hard to identify and
troubleshoot security breaches
due to the lack of visibility of
network applications

Purpose Built lowering Operational Expenses Because
New Catalyst 6K is purpose built to lower OpEx because –
1 Instant Access delivers
touchless access, no configuration at access switches
2 Consistent features and
agile infrastructure across your network
3 Single image, configuration
point within Instant Access domain
1 Need to configure
every switch, multiple
configuration instances
2 Different images, features
and configurations across
the network
3 18% of IT spent in initial
install, configs, testing;
28% monitoring and
troubleshooting

Deployment Models Traditional, Unified and Instant Access
Where Customers Deploy Instant Access
Want to manage their access/distribution block as a
Single 6500/6800 VSS entity
Do not require the scale and services of
Converged Access
Require advanced segmentation techniques
such as MPLS in the access
Require access (PoE) ports on their
Catalyst 6500/6800
Customer Needs
Call centers requiring simple, low-cost access with
advanced segmentation
Virtual desktop deployments (not hybrid) that have
single encrypted flow per access port
Retail environment where technical staff is
unavailable & wired registers need to be connected
Customer Use
Existing 6500 customers who want investment
protection (competitive situation to re-use investment)
