Nexus 9300 C93600CD-GX Switch Overview
The N9K-C93600CD-GX is a high-performance Cisco Nexus 9316D Spine and Leaf switch, featuring 28xQSFP28 Ports and 8xQSFP-DD ports, providing up to 400G Uplinks and up to 100G Downlink capabilities. Built on Cisco Cloud Scale technology, the Cisco Nexus 9300-GX switches represent the next generation of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches, offering unparalleled scalability and performance. This platform introduces a fully backward-compatible 400G optical interface, the QSFP-DD (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable – Double Density), enabling seamless migration from existing data center fabrics operating at 40-Gbps and 100-Gbps speeds to 400 Gbps. It offers investment protection for customers by delivering highly flexible Layer 2 and Layer 3 scalability, making it ideal for meeting the dynamic demands of virtualized data centers and automated cloud environments.
Cisco provides two modes of operation for the Nexus 9000 Series switches: the Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™), a holistic, intent-driven architecture with centralized automation and policy-based application profiles, and the Cisco NX-OS mode for traditional Nexus switch environments. The Cisco ACI solution provides a robust transport network designed for dynamic workloads, built on a network fabric that blends proven protocols with cutting-edge innovations to create a highly flexible, scalable, and resilient architecture. This fabric delivers low-latency, high-bandwidth links to support the most demanding and flexible Cisco Data Center Switch environments. Shop Cisco Switch models like the N9K-C93600CD-GX to take advantage of its advanced 28xQSFP28 Ports, 8xQSFP-DD Ports, and up to 400G Uplinks, making it an essential part of your Nexus9300 data center infrastructure.
