Description
Cisco C9300-24U – Ultra-High Power 24-Port UPOE+ Switch Dubai
The Cisco C9300-24U introduces groundbreaking Universal Power over Ethernet Plus (UPOE+) technology that fundamentally transforms how organizations in Dubai approach network device deployment and power management. With the capability to deliver up to 60 watts per port and a total power budget of 1440 watts, this exceptional switch enables deployment of the most power-demanding network devices without requiring separate power infrastructure, significantly reducing installation complexity and operational costs for UAE enterprises.
The switch’s intelligent power management system incorporates sophisticated algorithms that continuously monitor power consumption across all ports, automatically adjusting power allocation to ensure optimal device performance while preventing overload conditions. This advanced power management capability is particularly crucial for organizations in Dubai’s broadcasting and media sectors, where high-power devices such as professional cameras, video encoders, and digital signage displays require consistent, reliable power delivery to maintain operational continuity.
StackWise-1T technology integrated into the C9300-24U provides unprecedented stacking bandwidth of up to 480 Gbps, enabling organizations to create unified switching fabrics that can support hundreds of high-power devices across multiple switches. This stacking capability is particularly beneficial for large-scale deployments in Dubai’s convention centers, airports, and shopping malls, where extensive wireless coverage and comprehensive security camera networks require substantial power resources and high-bandwidth connectivity.
The C9300-24U’s support for Cisco’s Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) architecture enables organizations to implement advanced network segmentation and policy enforcement capabilities that are essential for protecting high-value devices and sensitive data. This capability is particularly important for organizations in Dubai’s financial and government sectors, where network security and compliance requirements demand sophisticated access control and monitoring capabilities.
Advanced thermal management features built into the C9300-24U ensure reliable operation even when delivering maximum power to all connected devices, maintaining optimal performance in Dubai’s challenging climate conditions. The switch’s intelligent cooling system automatically adjusts fan speeds based on power load and ambient temperature, ensuring consistent performance while minimizing energy consumption and acoustic noise levels.
 Comprehensive Power Solutions for Abu Dhabi’s Smart Infrastructure Projects
The C9300-24U’s ultra-high power delivery capabilities make it an essential component for Abu Dhabi’s ambitious smart infrastructure initiatives, where advanced technologies require substantial power resources while maintaining network connectivity. The switch’s ability to power devices such as environmental sensors, traffic management systems, and public safety cameras enables comprehensive smart city deployments that enhance quality of life for residents and visitors throughout the emirate.
Perpetual PoE technology ensures that connected devices maintain power even during switch maintenance operations and software updates, eliminating service disruptions that could impact critical infrastructure systems. This capability is particularly valuable for organizations in Abu Dhabi’s transportation sector, where continuous operation of traffic management and passenger information systems is essential for maintaining operational efficiency and public safety.
The switch’s comprehensive power monitoring and analytics capabilities provide detailed visibility into power consumption patterns, device status, and system performance, enabling infrastructure managers to optimize power utilization and identify potential issues before they impact operations. These monitoring capabilities include real-time power consumption data, historical usage trends, and predictive analytics that support proactive maintenance and capacity planning initiatives.
Fast PoE startup capabilities enable rapid device initialization, reducing deployment time and minimizing service disruptions during system upgrades or maintenance operations. This capability is particularly important for large-scale deployments where extended startup times could impact system availability and operational efficiency.
 Enhanced Security and Management for UAE Enterprise Networks
The C9300-24U incorporates comprehensive security features that protect both the network infrastructure and connected high-power devices from potential threats and unauthorized access. These security capabilities include device authentication, encrypted communications, and anomaly detection features that are essential for protecting valuable equipment and sensitive data in Dubai’s interconnected business environment.
Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities ensure optimal performance for critical applications and devices, even when the switch is operating at maximum power capacity. These QoS features include traffic prioritization, bandwidth allocation, and congestion management capabilities that maintain application performance during peak usage periods. The switch’s ability to prioritize critical traffic is particularly valuable for organizations deploying mission-critical applications such as video surveillance and emergency communication systems.
Network automation capabilities built into the C9300-24U enable zero-touch provisioning and automated configuration management, significantly reducing deployment time and minimizing configuration errors. This automation capability is particularly valuable for organizations with large-scale deployments across multiple locations in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where manual configuration processes would be time-consuming and error-prone.
The C9300-24U’s support for cloud-based management platforms enables centralized monitoring and configuration management across distributed network deployments, providing IT administrators with comprehensive visibility and control over their network infrastructure. This cloud management capability is particularly beneficial for organizations with operations spanning multiple emirates, as it enables consistent policy enforcement and simplified troubleshooting across geographically distributed networks.
