Cisco Nexus N9K-C9396PX
The Cisco Nexus N9K-C9396PX is a powerful, high-density 10/40GbE switch designed for modern data centers and enterprise networks. Featuring 96 fixed 10GbE SFP+ ports and 12 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks, this switch delivers exceptional performance, scalability, and flexibility for high-demand workloads.
With a switching capacity of up to 1.92 Tbps, ultra-low latency, and support for advanced networking protocols like VXLAN and Cisco ACI, the N9K-C9396PX ensures seamless integration into cloud and enterprise environments. Its robust hardware architecture is optimized for energy efficiency, reducing operational costs while maintaining peak performance.
Security is a top priority, with advanced features such as micro-segmentation, policy-based security, and access control, making it an ideal choice for secure and scalable network deployments. The switch is managed through Cisco NX-OS, providing a reliable and intuitive platform for efficient network administration.
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 multi-tenancy.
- 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.
