Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series Switches are great for providing end-to-end security and we are getting lightning-fast speed and this is massive for us. It is good for creating a link between web servers and database servers. And it is
good for even the larger organizations as well; I would say it is helping in connecting devices across our organizations.
