Description

Cisco Catalyst9500-12Q Dubai

The Cisco Catalyst9500-12Q Dubai is a cutting-edge Ethernet switch designed for full serviceability and programmability. Powered by an x86 CPU, it stands as Cisco’s premier purpose-built fixed core and aggregation enterprise switching platform, specifically crafted for security, IoT, and cloud applications. Featuring a 4-core x86, 2.4-GHz CPU, 16-GB DDR4 memory, and 16-GB internal storage, the C9500-12Q ensures robust performance.

Positioned as the industry’s pioneering purpose-built 40 Gigabit Ethernet line of switches tailored for the enterprise campus, the Cisco Catalyst9500-12Q Dubai offers unparalleled table scale (MAC/route/ACL) and buffering capabilities for diverse enterprise applications. This series encompasses nonblocking 40G Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) and 10G Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus (SFP+) switches, providing granular port densities to meet various campus requirements. Supporting advanced routing and infrastructure services, software-defined access border capabilities, and network system virtualization with Cisco StackWise virtual technology, the switches play a crucial role in the campus core. The platform also ensures foundational high-availability features such as patching, Graceful Insertion and Removal (GIR), Cisco Nonstop Forwarding with Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), redundant platinum-rated power supplies, and fans.
