YOUR QUOTE REQUEST
Tell us what you need
Add the quantity, options and installation details you want us to quote.
Specify the exact Cisco PID, software release and any required feature or throughput entitlement. Hardware and licenses are separate unless the quoted bundle states otherwise.
No license options are listed for this part number. If you need software, add its manufacturer part number and we will check it with the hardware.

Licensing, service coverage and data and configuration migration
USING HARDWARE RESPONSIBLY
Maintain, redeploy or replace
Consider repairability, remaining support and actual operating demand. Extending service life is useful only when the equipment still meets your security and reliability requirements.
MaintainCheck parts, firmware and service options.
RedeployMatch a suitable role and securely erase any retained data.
Retire responsiblyUse documented data removal and an appropriate electronics recycler.
Compare operating energy
Use measured average input power for the same workload. PSU ratings and processor TDP are different from total system power.
Energy difference = (current W − proposed W) × hours × units ÷ 1,000. Excludes cooling, embodied emissions and purchase costs.
STORAGE & SAN
Storage systems and SAN solutions
Compare storage arrays, servers and switches for Fibre Channel, iSCSI and file storage. Select a system below to see its connections and ordering considerations.
Published software baseline: vSphere 8.0, ONTAP 9.12.1P2, NX-OS 10.2(4) and CIMC 4.2(3d). Review supported releases for a new installation.
Match the VIC, optics or DACs, VLANs and MTU end to end. Link speed is not an application throughput guarantee.
