The Cisco Nexus N9K-C93180YC-FX is a next-generation, high-density fixed switch optimized for high-performance data center and cloud architectures. It provides 48 ports of 1/10/25-Gigabit and 6 ports of 40/100-Gigabit uplinks, making it ideal for scalable leaf-and-spine deployments. Built on Cisco’s Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) and NX-OS operating environment, the switch delivers flexible deployment modes, extensive programmability, and high throughput for modern workloads including virtualization, storage fabrics, and software-defined network architectures.
The switch supports VXLAN, EVPN, micro-segmentation, telemetry, and smart buffer management, ensuring secure, resilient, and highly automated data center networking. Its ultra-low latency and high forwarding performance make it suitable for large-scale enterprise core, cloud service platforms, and virtualization clusters.
