N9K-C93600CD-GX is the Cisco Nexus 9316D Spine and Leaf switch with 28p 100/40G QSFP28 and 8p 400/100G QSFP-DD. Based on Cisco® Cloud Scale technology, the Cisco Nexus® 9300-GX switches are the next generation of fixed Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches. The platform introduces a fully backward-compatible 400G optical interface Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable – Double Density (QSFP-DD) to transparently migrate existing data center fabrics from 40-Gbps and 100-Gbps speeds to 400 Gbps. The platform provides investment protection for customers, delivering highly flexible layer 2 and layer 3 scalability, and performance to meet the changing needs of virtualized data centers and automated cloud environments.
Cisco provides two modes of operation for Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches. Organizations can deploy Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™) or Cisco Nexus switch environments (Cisco NX-OS mode). The Cisco ACI solution is a holistic, intent-driven architecture with centralized automation and policy-based application profiles. It provides a robust, transport network for dynamic workloads and 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.

Product Details
Cisco ACI overview
Cisco ACI is an industry-leading secure, open, and comprehensive Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solution. It radically simplifies, optimizes, and accelerates infrastructure deployment and governance and expedites the application deployment lifecycle. Cisco ACI provides policy-driven automation through an integrated underlay and overlay, is hypervisor-agnostic; and extends policy automation to any workload, including virtual machines, physical bare-metal servers, and containers.
Cisco ACI delivers an intent-based networking framework to enable agility in the data center. It captures higher-level business and user intent in the form of a policy and translates this intent into the network constructs necessary to dynamically provision the network, security, and infrastructure services. It uses a holistic systems-based approach, with tight integration between hardware and software and physical and virtual elements, an open ecosystem model, and innovative Cisco custom ASICs to enable unique business value for modern data centers. This unique approach uses a common, policy-based operating model across the network, drastically reducing the cost and complexity in operating your network.
Cisco “ACI Anywhere” is a comprehensive solution: with one intent, using any hypervisor, for any workload, in any location, and in any cloud. Cisco “ACI Anywhere” offers a set of capabilities that enable seamless connectivity between an on-premises data center, remote, small-scale data centers, and geographically dispersed multiple data centers under a single-pane-of-policy orchestration. In future, these capabilities will extend to public cloud as well.
Figure 2 shows the Cisco ACI architectural building blocks.
The Cisco Nexus GX Series also introduces support of single-chip ACI spine-and-leaf functionality to enable customers to use a given GX series device, either in ACI spine or ACI leaf deployment for fully flexible deployments.
Table 2 shows the ACI support.
