IT departments must provide a shared IT infrastructure to meet time to market and increase return on investment (ROI) needs. As organizations deploy a mix of custom, open source, and off-the-shelf commercial applications, IT departments must manage security and quality of service (QoS) for environments that support multi-tenancy.

Over time, applications have gradually transitioned to a monolithic, horizontally scalable multi-node model.  The IT infrastructure supporting this model must scale with the speed of the business and support both 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet connections.  Cisco Nexus 9000 series switches include modular and fixed-port switches, which are designed to overcome these challenges through a flexible, agile, low-cost, application-centric infrastructure.

The Cisco Nexus 9300 platform includes fixed-port switches designed for top-of-rack (ToR) and mid-row (MoR) deployments in data centers supporting enterprise applications, service provider hosting, and cloud computing environments. They are layer 2 and layer 3 non-blocking 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet switches, up to 2 can be configured.  56 Megabits per second (Tbps) of internal bandwidth.
