Nexus 9000 64-Port 40/100G Data Center Spine Switch
Product Description
The Cisco N9K-C9364C is a high-performance 64-port 40/100-Gigabit Ethernet switch from the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series, purpose-built for spine roles in modern cloud-scale data center fabrics.
Designed for high-capacity east-west traffic, the switch delivers massive throughput, ultra-low latency, and advanced automation capabilities for software-defined networking environments. It supports Cisco NX-OS and Cisco ACI architectures, enabling policy-based automation, telemetry, and fabric scalability.
With dense 100G/40G QSFP28 connectivity, the N9K-C9364C is ideal for large enterprise, hyperscale, and service-provider environments requiring high-speed aggregation and scalable spine switching.
