The Updates, Something New about the Cisco 3650 Switches Cisco released the Catalyst 3650 Series in 2013. It can act as a wired switch as well as a converged wired wireless switch. Yes, the Cisco Catalyst 3650 is the next generation of enterprise-class standalone and stackable access-layer switches that provide full convergence between wired and wireless on a single platform. Built on the advanced Cisco StackWise-160 technology and using Cisco’s new unified access data plane (UADP) application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), the Cisco Catalyst 3650 enables uniform wired-wireless policy enforcement, application visibility, flexibility, application optimization, and superior resiliency. The Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series Switches support full IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), redundant fans, and new front-end power supplies. It enhances productivity by enabling applications such as IP telephony, wireless, and video for a true borderless network experience. Cisco announced the end-of-sale and end-of-life dates for the popular Cisco Catalyst 3560-X and 3750-X Series Switches at the end of last year. They will be replaced by the new Cisco 3650 Series and the Catalyst 3850 switches. What benefits and more features can we get from this migrating? Now, let’s look at some comparison of 3560-X and 3650. Comparison of Cisco Catalyst 3560-X and 3650 Switches
