Overall platform benefits
Dynamic core allocation
Dynamic core allocation architecture will allow you to tailor the Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge platforms's multicore resources to fit your business needs. You can choose between two core allocations.
Service-oriented core allocation has the platform's Multicore resources set to balance throughput with providing adequate resources for containerized services. Choose this if integrated, container based, services are required. It will allow for KVM and/or Docker container-based applications on up to 5 cores, depending on platform. This is the factory default core allocation with which all C8300 platforms are shipped.
Data plane heavy core allocation has the platform's Multicore resources optimized for high traffic throughput. Choose this architecture when throughput is of higher priority, A Data plane heavy architecture will on 8-core platforms completely remove resources for containerized services, whereas on the 12-core platform, C8300-2N2S-4T2X, it will reduce service plane resources from 5 to 4 cores.
In order to maximize the platforms performance and your investment, it's recommended to change into a Data plane heavy core allocation when container-based services are not being required.
Accelerated services with Cisco Software-Defined WAN
Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN is a set of intelligent software services that allow you to connect users, devices, and branch office locations reliably and securely across a diverse set of WAN transport links. Cisco Catalyst 8000 Series Edge Platforms can dynamically route traffic across the "best" link based on up-to-the-minute application and network conditions for great application experiences. You get tight control over application performance, bandwidth usage, data privacy, and availability of your WAN links-control you need as your branches conduct greater volumes of mission-critical business with both on-premises and cloud controllers.
Application performance optimization
Ensure that Catalyst SD-WAN networks meet Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) and maintain strong performance, even if network problems occur. With branch multi-cloud access, you can accelerate your SaaS applications with a simple template push from the Catalyst SD-WAN controller. Features like Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) optimization, forward error correction, and packet duplication help application performance for a better user experience.
Application visibility
Applications and users are more distributed than ever, and the internet has effectively become the new enterprise WAN. As organizations continue to embrace internet, cloud, and SaaS, network and IT teams are challenged to deliver consistent and reliable connectivity and application performance over networks and services they don't own or directly control.
The Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms are integrated with Cisco ThousandEyes internet and cloud intelligence. IT managers now have expanded visibility, including hop-by-hop analytics, into network underlay, proactive monitoring of Catalyst SD-WAN overlay, and performance measurement of SaaS applications. This granular visibility ultimately lowers the Mean Time to Identification of Issues (MTTI) and accelerates resolution time.
Multi-layer security
You can now move your traditional and complex WAN networks to a more agile software-defined WAN with integrated security. The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge platforms connect branch offices to the Internet and cloud, with industry-leading protection against major web attacks. Secure Direct Internet Access (DIA) to the branches helps optimize branch workloads for improved performance, specifically for cloud-hosted applications. At the same time, DIA ensures your branch is protected from external threats.
Unified communications
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Edge platforms offer rich voice services in both Catalyst SD-WAN and traditional IOS-XE software feature stacks. Cisco is the only SDWAN vendor to natively integrate analog/digital IP directly into single CPE reducing Capex and Opex costs. In SD-WAN mode, the Catalyst 8300 Series also prevent internal and external outages using SRST enabling Branch router to assume role of call control PBX for Telephony survivability. They also continue to support the long list of traditional IOS-XE voice use cases like Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE) Session Border Controller (SBC), Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CUCME), Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST), ISDN and Voice over IP.
Cloud-native agility with a programmable software architecture
Cisco continues to offer a feature-rich traditional IOS-XE routing stack on the Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms. IP Routing, IPSec, Quality of Service (QoS), firewall, Network Address Translation (NAT), Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR), Flexible NetFlow (FNF), and many other features are part of Cisco IOS-XE, a fully programmable software architecture with API support and a wide variety of protocols and configurations. With an integrated software image and a single binary file, you can now choose between Cisco IOS XE SD-WAN and IOS XE. And easily move from one to the other when you choose to do so.
LTE and 5G Wireless WAN
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms are built 5G networks. With the higher throughputs provided by CAT18 LTE and 5G, wireless WAN connections become feasible as primary transports for different use cases. These platforms support both integrated pluggable modules as well as external cellular gateways with LTE or 5G capability for improved throughputs that address all of those use cases. Based on a specific branch's direct line of sight and cellular coverage, this solution provides the flexibility of either using integrated PIM module or an external gateway. The integrated module can work in tandem with a cellular gateway for Active-Active redundancy.
Interface flexibility
Flexible L2 Switching & L3 Routing
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms support a wide range of NIM based Ethernet modules for a flexible and scalable combination of switched L2 ports and Routed L3 ports. We offer pure L2 switch and L3 routed port module as well as a new module series which combine both capabilities. These new NIM based interface offers options of combined L2 & L3 ports of up to 2.5Gbps mGig with 90 PoE capacity, plus NIM modules with 4-port SFP+ for up to 10Gbps of combined L2 & L3 ports. This not only provides a very high density of L3 ports, but also an unprecedented flexibility for the branch.
High-density Switching
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms support high-density Unified Access Data Plane (UADP)-based 22-port and 50-port Layer 2 switch modules. This allows the edge platform to operate as a branch-in-a-box solution with 1G, Cisco Multigigabit Technology (mGig), and 10G ports for downstream switches and devices. The 22-port Layer-2 module is a single-wide module that can be used on both the 1RU and 2RU platforms. The 50-port Layer-2 module is a double-wide module that can be used on the 2RU platforms.
Cisco UCS-E compute
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms will support the Cisco UCS-E M3 modules as well as the new Cisco UCS-E M6 module for branch compute needs. We support both Cisco and third-party Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) on the Cisco Enterprise NFV Infrastructure Software (NFVIS) hypervisor running on the UCS-E compute blade server. Cisco UCS-E M3 modules have 6-, 8-, and 12-core options to choose from based on the number of VNFs that need to be run at the branch. The Cisco UCS-E M6 module is a new, fully up-to-date, compute module built for today's more demanding compute applications. It comes with 3GHz clocked 10-core architecture and 2x 10Gbps connections both internally as well as externally. This will support very effective compute operations while also eliminating any bottlenecks for traffic flowing between the module and the host router.
Voice modules
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms will continue to support a variety of voice modules for the different voice needs at the branch. Voice module examples include Foreign Exchange Station (FXS), Foreign Exchange Office (FXO), Digital Signal Processor (DSP), etc.
NEBS (Network Equipment-Building System)
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms 2RU versions can be made NEBS compliant by choosing the optional PWR-CC1-650WDCR power supplies with reverse airflow. This will automatically include C8300-FAN-2R-R, the NEBS compliant fan assembly, which will make the C8300 system NEBS compliant.
Sustainability
The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms are designed ground-up with sustainability in mind. These platforms are standardized on highly efficient power supplies and common form factors for sharing tooling & accessories. We have eliminated use of plastic bezels as well as the need for wet paint, thereby reducing hazardous chemicals, and facilitating recyclability.
All platforms are designed for maximizing efficient use of PCBs and material in motherboard designs and for employing common modules across platforms. Over 70% of the ISR4000 platform family's modules are being reused by the Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms.
We standardize on integration of features to a single, very power effective, System on a Chip (SoC) architecture across the platform portfolio with dynamic power management plus added power and thermal management capabilities on modules. All platforms furthermore include a barometer to sense atmospheric pressure and estimate installation altitude. Fan speeds can thereby be reduced in installations at lower altitudes, yielding significant energy savings.
Throughput Efficiency (Gbps per Watt)
The use of a single, effective, SoC architecture in the he Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge family provides significantly higher performance per consumed wattage than its predecessors with up to 75% reduction in power per Gbps compared to equivalent ISR4k platform.

Resiliency and high availability
Platform redundancy is critical for branch operations, as any downtime has direct impact to a customer's business. To address that priority, Cisco makes a dual power supply default on all the Catalyst 8300 platforms to ensure that there is always a backup power supply module in case the primary power supply fails.
Power supplies
Important notice:
To address the precarious component situation during the pandemics, Cisco shipped PWR-CC1-400WAC as a temporary substitute power supply in place of the current 250-watt power supply, PWR-CC1-250WAC, used on our Catalyst 8300 1RU platforms. PWR-CC1-400WAC is no longer shipped with our Catalyst 8300 1RU platforms but retains the same support as the PWR-CC1-250WAC power supply.
