Nexus 9504 Modular Data Center Switch Bundle
Product Description
The Cisco Systems N9K-C9504-B3-E is a modular chassis bundle from the Cisco Nexus 9500 Series, engineered for cloud-scale data center fabrics that demand extreme scalability, high availability, and flexible interface expansion.
Designed as a spine or aggregation platform, this 4-slot modular switch enables organizations to deploy customizable line cards supporting multiple Ethernet speeds including 10G, 25G, 40G, and 100G. With built-in redundancy across supervisors, power supplies, controllers, and fabric modules, it ensures continuous operation for mission-critical environments.
Running Cisco NX-OS and supporting Cisco ACI, the N9K-C9504-B3-E delivers automation, policy-driven networking, telemetry, and programmability for modern enterprise and service-provider infrastructures.
