N9K-C9372PX-B18Q
The Cisco Nexus N9K-C9372PX-B18Q is a high-performance 10G data center switch designed for enterprise networking, cloud environments, and software-defined networking (SDN). Featuring 48 x 10G SFP+ ports and 6 x 40G QSFP+ uplinks, it provides scalable connectivity with a 1.44 Tbps switching capacity, ensuring high-speed, low-latency data transmission.
With the B18Q bundle, this switch offers enhanced security, automation, and performance optimizations, making it ideal for modern IT infrastructures. Powered by Cisco NX-OS, the switch supports VXLAN, EVPN, and network automation, enabling efficient cloud networking and virtualization.
Designed for high availability and energy efficiency, the N9K-C9372PX-B18Q reduces power consumption while maintaining superior throughput. It supports Cisco ACI, allowing seamless integration into software-defined environments.
Organizations everywhere recognize that changing application environments are creating new demands for the IT infrastructure that supports them. Application workloads are deployed across a mix of virtualized and non-virtualized server and storage infrastructure, requiring a network infrastructure that provides consistent connectivity, security, and visibility across a range of bare-metal, virtualized, and cloud computing environments:
- Application instances are created dynamically. As a result, the provisioning, modification, and removal of application network connectivity needs to be dynamic as well.
- Business units demand accelerated application deployments. IT departments have to provide shared IT infrastructure to address time-to-market needs and to increase their return on investment (ROI).
- With organizations deploying a mix of custom, open-source, and off-the-shelf commercial applications, IT departments must manage both security and quality of service (QoS) for environments that support multitenancy.
- Applications have been transitioning over time to a less monolithic, scale-out, multimode model. IT infrastructure that supports this model must scale with the speed of business and support both 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
The Cisco Nexus® 9000 Series Switches include both modular and fixed-port switches that are designed to overcome these challenges with a flexible, agile, low-cost, application-centric infrastructure.
The Cisco Nexus 9300 platform consists of fixed-port switches designed for top-of-rack (ToR) and middle-of-row (MoR) deployment in data centers that support enterprise applications, service provider hosting, and cloud computing environments. They are Layer 2 and 3 nonblocking 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet switches with up to 2.56 terabits per second (Tbps) of internal bandwidth.
