Overview
The Cisco® Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™ solution in the data center is a holistic architecture with centralized automation and policy-based application profiles. The Cisco ACI solution provides a robust transport network for today's dynamic workloads. Cisco ACI is built on a network fabric that combines time-tested protocols with new innovations to create a highly flexible, scalable, and resilient architecture of low-latency, high-bandwidth links. This fabric delivers a network that can support the most demanding and flexible data center environments.
The Cisco ACI fabric consists of three major components:
- Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) - Spine switches - Leaf switches
Building on the success of first-generation Cisco Nexus® 9300 platform switches, the latest Cisco Nexus 9300-EX and 9300-FX platforms can collect comprehensive Cisco Tetration Analytics™ telemetry information at line rate across all ports without adding any latency to the packets or negatively affecting switch performance. This telemetry information is exported every 100 milliseconds (ms) by default directly from the switch's application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). This information consists of three types of data:
- Flow information: This information contains information about endpoints, protocols, ports, when the flow started, how long the flow was active, etc. - Interpacket variation: This information captures any interpacket variations within the flow. Examples include variation in time to live (TTL), IP and TCP flags, payload length, etc. - Context details: Context information is derived outside the packet header, including variation in buffer utilization, packet drops within a flow, association with tunnel endpoints, etc.
The Cisco Tetration Analytics platform consumes this telemetry data, and by using unsupervised machine learning and behavior analysis it can provide outstanding pervasive visibility across everything in your data center in real time. By using algorithmic approaches, the Cisco Tetration Analytics platform provides deep insights into applications and interactions, enabling dramatically simplified operations, a zero-trust model, and migration of applications to any programmable infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the Cisco Nexus 93180LC-EX (N9K-C93180LC-EX) cost?
Pricing for the N9K-C93180LC-EX is available on request. Send a quick quote request and a Uniqcli specialist will confirm the current price, stock, and lead time, usually within one business day. Lower pricing is available for volume, GPC, and emergency-acquisition orders.
Is the N9K-C93180LC-EX TAA compliant and available for government and DoD buyers?
Often yes, but it depends on the unit. Cisco manufactures the N9K-C93180LC-EX in several countries, so Trade Agreements Act (TAA) status varies by production lot. Uniqcli is an authorized Cisco partner: we confirm the country of origin before shipment, and if a given N9K-C93180LC-EX is not TAA-designated, we will source a TAA-certified equivalent of the same model. Either way the result is DoDIN APL-ready procurement for US federal, DoD, state, local, education, healthcare, and enterprise buyers, with Government Purchase Card (GPC) acceptance and FAR-based urgent and emergency acquisition support. Request a TAA-compliant quote for the N9K-C93180LC-EX and a specialist will confirm compliance, price, and lead time, usually within one business day.
Can I buy the N9K-C93180LC-EX as a single unit or in volume?
Both. Order a single N9K-C93180LC-EX through the cart, or ask about lower pricing for volume orders, Government Purchase Card (GPC) purchases, and emergency or urgent (FAR-based) acquisitions. There is no payment up front: we confirm availability and the final total before invoicing.
Where can I find the N9K-C93180LC-EX datasheet and specifications?
The specifications section on this page lists the published specs for the N9K-C93180LC-EX, including ports, power, and dimensions where Cisco publishes them. Ask us for the full Cisco datasheet and we will send the current PDF with your quote.
Need the N9K-C93180LC-EX TAA-compliant for federal or DoD?
Cisco builds this model in multiple countries, so TAA status depends on the production lot. We confirm country of origin before shipment, and if a unit isn't TAA-designated, we'll quote a TAA-certified equivalent of the same model, DoDIN APL-ready and GPC-payable.
