Cisco Systems N9K-C93180-FX-B24C - 2XNEXUS 93180YC-FX 8x QSFP-100G-PSM4-S

The Cisco Nexus^® 9300-EX platform is the next generation of fixed Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches. The new platform based on Cisco's Cloud Scale ASIC supports cost-effective cloud-scale deployments an increased number of endpoints and cloud services with wire-rate security and telemetry. The platform is built on modern system architecture designed to provide high performance to meet the evolving needs of highly scalable data centers and growing enterprises. Cisco Nexus 9300-EX platform switches offer a variety of interface options to transparently migrate existing data centers from 100-Mbps 1-Gbps and 10-Gbps speeds to 25 Gbps at the server and from 10- and 40-Gbps speeds to 50 and 100 Gbps at the aggregation layer. The platform provides investment protection for customers delivering large buffers immense Layer 2 and Layer 3 scalability and performance to meet the changing needs of highly virtualized automated cloud environments in data centers. The platform hardware supports Cisco^® Data Center Interconnect (DCI) features enabling flexible workload mobility and LAN and SAN convergence. The platform has the capability to collect comprehensive Cisco Tetration Analytics^™ telemetry information at line rate across all the ports without adding any latency to the packets or negatively affecting switch performance. This telemetry information is exported every 100 milliseconds by default directly from the switch's application- specific integrated circuit (ASIC). This information consists of three types of data: ? Flow information: This information contains information about endpoints protocols ports when the flow started how long the flow was active etc. ? Interpacket variation: This information captures any interpacket variations within the flow. Examples include variation in time to live (TTL) IP and TCP flags payload length etc. ? Context details: Context information is derived outside the packet header including variation in buffer utilization packet drops within a flow association with tunnel endpoints etc. The Cisco Tetration Analytics platform consumes this telemetry data and by using unsupervised machine learning and behavior analysis it can provide outstanding pervasive visibility across everything in your data center in real time. By using algorithmic approaches the Cisco Tetration Analytics platform provides a deep application insights and interactions enabling dramatically simplified operations a zero-trust model and migration of applications to any programmable infrastructure. Cisco provides two modes of operation for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches. Organizations can use Cisco NX-OS Software to deploy the switches in standard Cisco Nexus switch environments (NX-OS mode). Organizations also can use a hardware infrastructure that is ready to support the Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI^™) platform to take full advantage of an automated policy-based systems-management approach (ACI mode).
