Scenario: A large cloud provider must aggregate east-west traffic from dozens of 1/10/25GE leaf switches into a high-capacity spine layer without oversubscription. Deployment of the C6800-8P10G with integrated DFC4 in the spine role delivers eight 10GE ports and programmable forwarding at wire-speed. Benefit: Achieves non-blocking performance, 1:1 oversubscription, and sub-microsecond latency at scale. Simplified operations via centralized DFC4 policy ensures optimal throughput and deterministic application performance across thousands of VMs.
Scenario: A global enterprise campus requires east-west threat containment and role-based access control for sensitive R&D and finance VLANs. Deploying the C6800-8P10G as the campus core switch with built-in DFC4 enables granular L2–L4 policy enforcement directly in hardware. Benefit: Delivers zero-trust segmentation at multi-gigabit speeds, reducing lateral attack surfaces by 90%. Simplified policy orchestration via DFC4 lowers maintenance overhead by 60% and ensures compliance with industry regulations.
Scenario: A high-frequency trading firm needs deterministic packet forwarding between matching engines and market data feeds. The C6800-8P10G’s integrated DFC4 delivers cut-through switching with sub-2-microsecond port-to-port latency across its eight 10GE interfaces. Benefit: Guarantees millisecond-class trade execution and market data delivery. Hardware-accelerated forwarding and QoS policies reduce jitter by 75%, directly translating into measurable P&L improvements for latency-sensitive trading strategies.
