These switches are perfect for cloud and enterprise data centers because they provide high-density 10/25/40/100Gbps connectivity. The Nexus 9300 surpasses legacy models in speed, efficiency, and flexibility thanks to enhanced ASICs and hardware innovations, offering a strong basis for changing business requirements. These series integrates with Cisco Nexus Dashboard—check the DCN Essentials/Advantage/Premier licensing needed for NDI, NDFC, and NDO.
