Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) applications are being used increasingly in today’s data centers, and the Cisco N9000 Series Switches have the hardware and software capabilities to provide the right latency, congestion-management mechanisms, and telemetry to meet the requirements of those applications. The Cisco N9000 Series Switches address the need for high-performance, power-efficient, compact switching in the networking infrastructure and are designed to support 100G fabrics for next-generation leaf and spine designs.
Large-cloud and data-center networking teams require a flexible, reliable solution helps admins manage, troubleshoot, and analyze their IT infrastructure. In addition, they need security, automation, visibility, analytics, and assurance. Coupled with tools such as Nexus® Dashboard, Cisco N9000 Series Switches are ideal platforms for building a high-performance AI/ML network fabric.
Based on the Cisco® Silicon One® E100 ASIC, these platforms support cost-effective large-scale deployments, an increased number of endpoints, and is capable of wire-rate encryption. The platform is built on modern system architecture designed to provide high performance and meet the evolving needs of highly scalable data centers and growing enterprises.
Designed for the programmable network, the Cisco NX-OS operating system automates configuration and management for customers who want to take advantage of the DevOps operation model and tool sets.
Cisco also supports Nexus Hyperfabric™, which is a vertically integrated cloud managed solution that is supported on select Cisco N9300 Switches.
