With a switching capacity of up to 1.44 Tbps and ultra-low latency, this switch ensures seamless data transfer for high-demand workloads.
Designed to support VXLAN, EVPN, and Cisco ACI, the N9K-C9372TX-E-B18Q enhances network automation and simplifies deployment. It features an advanced hardware architecture optimized for energy efficiency, reducing operational costs while maintaining top-tier performance.
Security is a priority, with robust access control, policy-based segmentation, and micro-segmentation capabilities, making it ideal for secure, large-scale deployments. The switch also integrates seamlessly with Cisco NX-OS, providing a user-friendly interface and simplified management.
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 nonvirtualized 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, multinode model. IT infrastructure that supports this model must scale with the speed of business and support both 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
