Product Overview 

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. 

The Cisco Nexus

®

 9000 Series Switches include both modular and fixed-port switches that are designed to 

overcome these challenges with a flexible, agile, low-cost, application centric infrastructure (ACI). 

The Cisco Nexus 9300 Series Switches comprises of fixed-port switches designed for top-of-rack (ToR) and 

middle-of-row (MoR) deployment in data centers that support enterprise applications, service provider hosting, and 

cloud computing environments. Cisco Nexus 9300 Series Switches are Layer 2 and 3 nonblocking 10 and 40 

Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-capable switches with up to 2.56 terabits per second 

(Tbps) of internal bandwidth.
