Choosing the Cisco Nexus N9K-C9396PX switch for your data center means investing in a powerful, reliable, and future-proof network infrastructure. This switch delivers nonblocking 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet capabilities, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications and ensuring a smooth data flow even during peak times. Its predictable high performance, with latency as low as 1-2 microseconds, is crucial for time-sensitive tasks and can significantly increase the responsiveness of your applications and services.
Moreover, the Nexus N9K-C9396PX offers an impressive internal bandwidth of up to 2.56 Tbps. This substantial throughput enables the creation of extensive switch fabrics, catering to anything from smaller setups requiring only a couple of hundred server ports to massive data centers with over 200,000 ports. The integrated shared buffer space further enhances performance, expertly managing port speed mismatches and safeguarding against congestion and packet loss.
Availability is a top priority for any data center. The N9K-C9396PX addresses this need with hot-swappable, redundant power supplies and fan trays, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum uptime for your critical operations. This is complemented by flexible airflow configurations to maintain optimal temperatures and keep hardware running smoothly.
Power efficiency is another key concern. All power supplies in the Nexus 9000 Series, including those used by the N9K-C9396PX, are 80 Plus Platinum rated. This rating signifies lower operational costs and a reduced carbon footprint, leading to a greener, cost-effective data center.
Lastly, the switch is built with expansion and future growth in mind. It sustains a range of advanced optics and comes with multiple accessories that help scale your network as needed, further protecting your investment. With the Cisco N9K-C9396PX, you get a high-density, versatile switch that’s engineered to meet the demands of modern data centers, ensuring that you’re well-equipped for both the challenges of today and the growth of tomorrow.
