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.
