Highlights
The Nexus 93108TC-EX Switch has 48 1/10GBase-T ports that can operate at 100-Mbps, 1-Gbps, and 10-Gbps speeds, and six 40/100-Gbps Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) uplink ports. All ports are line rate, delivering 2.16 Tbps of throughput in a 1-rack-unit (1RU) form factor.
Architectural Flexibility
- Includes top-of-rack or middle-of-row copper-based server access connectivity
- Includes a leaf node in a spine-leaf architecture for low-latency traffic flow and reduced convergence time in the event of a failure
Feature-Rich
- Includes an enhanced version of Cisco NX-OS Software designed for performance, resiliency, scalability, manageability, and programmability
- The ACI-ready hardware infrastructure allows users to take full advantage of an automated, policy-based, systems management approach
- Supports virtual extensible LAN (VXLAN) routing
- Rich traffic flow telemetry with line-rate data collection
- Real-time buffer utilization per port and per queue, for monitoring traffic micro-bursts and application traffic patterns
Real-Time Visibility and Telemetry
- Cisco Tetration Analytics Platform support with built-in hardware sensors for rich traffic flow telemetry and line-rate data collection
- Cisco Nexus Data Broker support for network traffic monitoring and analysis
- Real-time buffer utilization per port and per queue, for monitor traffic micro-bursts and application traffic patterns
Highly Available and Efficient Design
- High-density, non-blocking architecture
- Easily deployed into either a hot-aisle and cold-aisle configuration
- Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fan trays
Simplified Operations
- Preboot execution environment (PXE) and Power-On Auto Provisioning (POAP) support allows for simplified software upgrades and configuration file installation
- Automate and configure switches with DevOps tools like Puppet, Chef, and Ansible
- An intelligent API offers switch management through remote procedure calls (RPCs, JSON, or XML) over a HTTP/HTTPS infrastructure
- Python scripting gives programmatic access to the switch command-line interface (CLI)
- Includes hot and cold patching, and online diagnostics
