Cisco Nexus NXN-V9P3-16X-9GB QSFP-DD SmartNIC | Enterprise Fiber — NXN-V9P3-16X-9GB=

Keep critical network services responsive with a SmartNIC built for compute-heavy packet handling. The Cisco Nexus NXN-V9P3-16X-9GB combines FPGA-based acceleration with 9 GB of DDR4 memory and 2 x QSFP-DD interfaces to support high-bandwidth traffic paths in modern infrastructure. This model is suited for environments where host CPU cycles are too valuable to spend on repetitive network processing. By moving targeted workloads onto dedicated hardware, it helps preserve server resources for application delivery, storage, and virtualization tasks. The dual QSFP-DD design supports dense uplink architectures, while the Cisco Nexus platform alignment makes it a practical fit for enterprise teams standardizing on Cisco networking. For procurement teams, the value is in specialization: this is not a generic adapter, but a purpose-built SmartNIC for environments that need predictable throughput and hardware-assisted data movement. The 1-year warranty provides a defined support window for deployment planning and lifecycle management. Ideal For Offloading packet processing in virtualization hosts Supporting high-throughput uplinks in Cisco Nexus-based data centers Reducing CPU overhead in traffic-intensive application servers Adding specialized network acceleration to enterprise compute nodes Why This Product 1 FPGA acceleration for targeted network offload 2 Dual QSFP-DD connectivity for dense uplinks 3 9 GB DDR4 memory for demanding workloads 4 Cisco Nexus alignment for standardized deployments
