Cisco Nexus 9000
Series is so popular that can be selected by customers of any size.
Why Cisco Nexus
9000 Series Switches? Nexus 9000 Series are ideal for small-to-midsize data
centers, offering five key benefits: price, performance, port-density,
programmability, and power efficiency.
The Cisco Nexus
9000 Series operate in Cisco NX-OS Software mode or Application Centric
Infrastructure (ACI) mode.
The 9000 Series
offers modular 9500 switches and fixed 9300 and 9200 switches with
1/10/25/50/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet switch configurations.
Cisco Nexus 9000 Product Line
- Nexus 9200 switches are optimized for high performance and density in NX-OS mode operations.
- The 9500 and 9300 are optimized to deliver increased operation flexibility in:
- NX-OS mode for traditional architectures and consistency across Nexus switches, or
- ACI mode to take advantage of ACI's policy-driven services and infrastructure automation features
Architectural Flexibility
- Can be deployed in an energy-efficient three-tier or leaf-spine architecture
- Provides flexible and scalable virtual extensible LAN (VXLAN) multi-tenancy
- Provides a foundation for ACI, automating application deployment and delivering simplicity, agility, and flexibility
- Supports Nexus Fabric Manager to automate fabric configuration and management
Programmability
- Offers an open-object API-programmable model for provisioning Layer 2 and 3 features
- Provides extensibility through a Route Processor Module application package, Linux containers, and Broadcom and Linux shell access
- Uses the Cisco NX-OS API for easy-to-use, web-based programmatic access
- Simplifies infrastructure management through integration with DevOps automation tools
Real-Time Visibility and Telemetry
- Cisco Tetration Analytics support with built-in hardware sensors for rich traffic flow telemetry and line-rate data collection
- Cisco Nexus Data Broker support for network traffic monitoring and analysis
- Real-time buffer utilization per port and per queue, for monitoring traffic micro-bursts and application traffic patterns
Scalability
- Provides up to 60 Tbps of nonblocking performance with less than 5-microsecond latency
- Features line rate, high density 10/25/40/50/100 Gbps Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet ports
- Offers wire-speed gateway, bridging, routing, and Cisco Border Gateway Protocol Control Plane for VXLAN (BGP EVPN VXLAN)
- Includes segment routing for increased network scalability and virtualization
High Availability
- In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) and patching without operation interruption (Nexus 9500 and 9300)
- Fully redundant and hot-swappable components
- Improves reliability and performance with a mix of third-party and Cisco ASICs performance
Investment Protection
- Allows for reuse of an existing 10-GE cabling plant for 40 GE with a 40-Gbps bidirectional transceiver
- Supports Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders in both NX-OS and ACI modes (9300 and 9500 Series)
- Facilitates migration from NX-OS mode to ACI mode
- FCoE support provides fabric convergence for LAN and SAN, lowering overall data center TCO
