Description

Cisco Nexus9504 Network Switch Kuwait

Cisco Nexus9504 Kuwait is a modern platform that has been designed to support hot-swappable line cards and fabric modules which have been optimized for data-center deployments. These line cards are built using a combination of Cisco ASICs and merchant ASICs.

The Cisco Nexus9504 Kuwait platform is designed as a Clos fabric that interconnects each line card directly with each rear-mounted fabric module. All traffic between the line cards is load balanced across all fabric modules, providing optimal bandwidth distribution within the chassis. This load-balancing capability provides enhanced system reliability and redundancy. The switch continues to operate even in the event of a loss of a fabric module, albeit at a lower capacity, as the remaining fabric modules continue to provide switching capacity to the line cards.

Cisco Nexus9504 Kuwait is a modular chassis that supports up to 16 line cards, 2 supervisor modules, 2 chassis controllers, 3 fan trays, 6 fabric modules, and 10 power supplies. The switch supports comprehensive Layer 2 and 3 functions on nonblocking 1, 10, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports. The Cisco Nexus 9500 platform is hardware ready for FCoE1 and designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces as they become available

Features:

Deployment Flexibility

Cisco Nexus9504 Kuwait has built-in support for the next-generation data center based on Cisco ACI
Nexus Fabric Manager support to automate fabric configuration and management
Traditional data centers in standalone NX-OS mode

Programmability

Open API to manage the switch through remote-procedure calls (JavaScript Object Notation or XML) over HTTP or HTTPS
Automated configuration through Linux shell scripts
Cisco Nexus9504 supports customer applications through a Linux container environment
Programmable APIs for integration with DevOps automation tools

High Availability

In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) and patching without operation interruption Redundant and hot-swappable supervisors, system controllers, power supplies, and fan trays
Mix of third-party and Cisco application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for improved reliability

Energy Efficiency

Cisco Nexus9504 has been designed without a midplane to optimize front-to-back airflow and reduce power consumption
Optimized design with fewer ASICs, resulting in lower energy use
Efficient power supplies that are rated at 80 Plus Platinum
