Cisco C9610 Series Smart Switches
As enterprise networks face the unprecedented demands of AI-driven workloads and hybrid work environments, the core of your infrastructure must evolve. The Cisco C9610 Series Smart Switches represent the pinnacle of modular core networking, specifically engineered to provide the throughput, security, and intelligence required for a modern, AI-ready campus.
Built around the massive 51.2 Tbps switching capacity of the C9610R chassis, this series enables seamless transitions to high-density 100G and 400G environments. At Nexus ITX, we specialize in deploying these next-generation modular platforms for organizations across Dubai and the Middle East, ensuring your network is not just functional, but a competitive advantage.
The Cisco C9610 Series is more than just a hardware upgrade; it is a complete architectural shift. Powered by the Cisco Silicon One K100 ASIC, these switches offer full-stack programmability and specialized support for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) in the 3XL supervisor modules. This ensures low-latency performance and the scale necessary to handle the most data-intensive enterprise applications.
Reliability is hardcoded into the C9610R 10-slot chassis. With N+N or N+1 power redundancy using Platinum-rated supplies and advanced high-availability features like In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) and hot patching, your business stays online even during maintenance. Whether you are managing your core on-premises or through the cloud, the C9610 provides a resilient, unified experience.
